Likud MK promotes bill to privatize Army Radio amid coalition push to shutter public broadcaster

Likud MK Nissim Vaturi is promoting a bill to privatize Army Radio in Israel, arguing that a military radio station financed by the public is unnecessary. The bill would require a tender for the sale of the network to a private buyer. The move comes amidst a coalition push to shutter the country's public broadcaster. The bill echoes a similar piece of legislation that passed a preliminary reading in the Knesset.
