The Second Authority for Television and Radio fined Channel 14 NIS 75,000 for failing to disclose its revenue data, a requirement for evaluating the channel's eligibility for 'small channel' status. This status grants regulatory benefits such as reduced fees. According to market estimates, Channel 14's revenues have exceeded the threshold set by law, which would disqualify it from the small channel designation. The fine was imposed due to the channel's failure to provide the necessary financial information. The decision underscores the regulator's oversight of media transparency.
