Some regions had only one bidder.
The Second Television and Radio Broadcasting Authority is due to approve a new license-holder for "Radio Darom" (Radio of the South) to operate the franchise in southern Israel. The four-year franchise can be extended by four-year increments up to a maximum of 16 years.
"Radio Darom" was the only bidder in the tender for the southern region franchise. Every Sunday over the coming weeks, a tender will be held for the franchise in each region in which only bidder participated.
On March 16-18, the tenders will be held for the three regions for the franchises in which more than bidder are participating: Haifa, the Sharon, and Jerusalem.
