Its flagship evening news bulletin is broadcast at 8:00 p.m. IST, and anchored primarily by Yonit Levi and Danny Kushmaro.
Reshet took resources and programmes from Channel 10's news production company, which changed its on-air brand to HaHadashot 13.
Since 2000, HaHadashot 12's studios have been in the Kiryat HaTikshoret (Media Complex) of the Globus Group company in Neve Ilan of the Jerusalem corridor.
It expanded beyond the evening news bulletin, and began airing programmes such as First Edition (מהדורה ראשונה, Mahadora Rishona), Six With (שש עם, Shesh im), Meet The Press (פגוש את העיתונות, Pgosh et HaItonut), Friday Studio (אולפן שישי, Ulpan Shishi) and The Economic Programme (תוכנית חיסכון, Tochnit Chisachon).
The first reporters were Ya'akov Eilon, Miki Haimovich, Guy Zohar, Dana Weiss, Gideon Sa'ar, Rina Matsliah, Oshrat Kotler, Emanuel Rozen and Aharon Barnea.
[citation needed] The competing channels covered terrorist attacks as breaking news, with uncensored depictions of body parts.
Despite their competition, both channels simulcast the signing of the Israel–Jordan peace treaty at the end of October 1994 and Yitzhak Rabin's funeral.
Dov GilHar (a Channel 2 reporter at the time) was a few meters away from the assassination, immediately sent a message to Roni Daniel and Aharon Barnea, and the company went into emergency mode.
Moshe Nusmaum announced the assassin's name a few minutes after Ya'akov Eilon replaced Guy Zohar in Jerusalem Capital Studios.
[citation needed] Six weeks after Rabin's death, the company bought amateur photographer Roni Kempler's videotape of the assassination for NIS 1 million and re-aired it.
They included Carmel Lutzati, Shelly Yachimovich, Oded Ben-Ami (2000), Danny Kushmaro, Ehud Ya'ari (2001), Amnon Abramovich, Oren Weigenfled (2003) and Lilach Sonin (2004–2013).
The Second Intifada began in 2000, and the company prepared to cover news at odd hours in live reports from the field.
The Ministry of Communication planned to establish a dedicated 24-hour news channel; bidding began, and Ya'akov Eilon (who left to join the competing company Hadashot Israel) was replaced by Miki Haimovich.
Channel 2 began using news tickers, and Himovich and Dan Shilon anchored coverage of the 2001 Israeli prime ministerial election.
During the Iraq War, the company replaced the programme's graphics and briefly cooperated with the internet portal MSN to present its featured video articles.
The company changed studios for a week in 2006 (using the slogan "Israel chooses 2"), purchased a 3D graphics system and collaborated with Reshet's satirical Mishak Makhur for its fifth election broadcast.
Channel 10 evening-news editor Gut Suderi replaced Boaz Stembler and Liran Dan in September.
At the beginning of the month, Friday Studio anchor Aharon Barnea announced that he would move to Washington, D.C. as a correspondent.
For the 2009 election broadcast, anchored by Yonit Levi, the company collaborated with Keshet's satirical show Eretz Nehederet.
Channel 9 ended its six-and-a-half-year agreement with the company at the beginning of March 2009, and the latter discontinued some of its programmes due to budget cuts.
The following month, Six With and Meet The Press were cancelled and the evening news was shortened to 45 minutes as a result of NIS 20 million in budget cuts.
After ten days, a change in the Second Authority law enabled the company to reduce the cuts to NIS 5 million.
[13] The company celebrated its 20th anniversary the following month, airing promos with important events it reported, and replaced its midnight bulletin with a nightly news programme.
On election night, the evening news was broadcast from a transparent studio on the Knesset plaza; the programme was watched by 37.7 percent of the audience.
Keren Marciano went on maternity leave, and Dana Weiss anchored the evening news with Yonit Levi and Danny Kushmaro.
Shortly before Channel 2 split, the company rebranded itself as "The News (HaHadashot)" and its content moved to Keshet 12 and Reshet 13 in HD.
