Description
103FM is Israel's veteran talk station, on air since 1995 and run today from Ramat HaSharon as part of the Maariv media group. The day is wall to wall speech: news and current affairs first thing, argument and interviews through the middle of the day, then money, health and sport in the afternoon and phone-ins that run late. Its presenters are household names in Israel and the register is direct, opinionated and often loud. At weekends the mood changes completely for a long run of classic Hebrew song, curated rather than shuffled. Almost everything goes out again as a podcast, so the station has a second life on demand.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The station's own About page says it has broadcast since 1995 as a talk station from Ramat HaSharon, and the whole site, schedule and programme output are in Hebrew. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| your caution that the route might be the newsroom's rather than the station's | it is the station's: the mailbox is on 103.fm, the form's destinations are 103FM programmes and staff, and the on-air line is the station's, although the site does sit on maariv.co.il

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
