Zapping in the Holy Land: Coping with Multi-Channel TV in Israel.

Weimann, Gabriel

Journal of Communication, v45 n1 p96-102 Win 1995

States that television has been a "single-station medium" in Israel since 1968, and that cable television is a recent innovation for that country. Describes an experiment that compared houses with cable to ones without, and found that houses with cable had markedly different viewing habits. Concludes that these findings suggest a "state of confusion and cultural shock." (PA)
