IBA shelves plans for Israel Radio cuts

The management of the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) has shelved plans for an emergency package of cuts that would have stopped broadcasts of Israel Radio news in English, and the IBA television news in English, from 1 July. The IBA Management Committee met this afternoon and decided to shelve the cuts due to fierce opposition from the various workers’ unions. However, the management declared that significant cuts will be made elsewhere in the near future.
