Telad
Israeli production and broadcast company
Telad is an Israeli production company. The company is mostly known for being one of the three concessionaires who ran the Israeli commercial television channel Channel 2 between the years 1993–2005. It currently operates as a subsidiary of NMC United Entertainment.
History
The company was founded in the 1960s by Uzi Peled as a small production company in Jerusalem named "Idan" and provided services to the Israeli Channel 1 and to TV stations worldwide. "Idan" was reestablished in 1973 into "Telad" as part of a joint establishment with the Israeli investment firm Israel Discount Bank. Telad initially worked with Channel 1 and the experimental Channel 2.
In May of 1993, Telad was granted a franchise to operate the newly established Channel 2 and was the first of the three concessionaires to broadcast the first transmissions on the opening day of Channel 2 on 4 November 1993. Later on, during the late 1990s, Telad acquired exclusive broadcasting rights of TV channels broadcast on the satellite TV and cable TV – among them The History Channel and E! channel in July 2000, the MGM channel in July 2001, and the Biography Channel in October of 2005. Telad lost the concessionaires broadcasting bid for Channel 2 which was held in 2005, and therefore, on the night of 29 October 2005 ceased to broadcast on Channel 2.

Why this record matters
“Telad” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Telad, Israeli and production provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7695595. VIAF identifies the subject as 143610774. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2005, 1973 and 2000.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
