TV Channel Overview
Makan 33 (مكان 33) is an Arabic-language public television channel operated by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC), based in Jerusalem, Israel. It serves Arabic-speaking audiences in Israel and forms the television arm of Makan, the corporation’s Arabic-language broadcasting brand. Its schedule combines news and current affairs with culture, documentaries, drama, entertainment, children’s programming, music, and sports.
Rather than focusing on a single genre, Makan 33 follows a general public-service format in Arabic. News bulletins and interviews address Israeli, regional, and international developments, while cultural and social programs explore community life, family, arts, and other everyday subjects. Drama, entertainment, and sports broaden the schedule beyond journalism.
The channel began broadcasting in 2017 when the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation started operations, succeeding the former Israel Broadcasting Authority’s Channel 33. Within Israel’s public broadcasting system, Makan 33 provides a dedicated Arabic-language television service alongside the corporation’s Hebrew-language channels, including Kan 11 and Kan Educational.
