Noga Communications (Hebrew: נגה תקשורת, Noga Tikshoret) is an Israeli television production company created in September 1996[1] after a law was passed in Knesset to disband ICP's control over Arutz HaYeladim and Channel 8 (as the "ICP Agreement") established that the cable companies would only control 40% of the in-house channels.[2]
On November 26, 2000, filmmaker Aviv Giladi bought Noga Communications for US$3,8 million. Before then, Taya owned 50% and Ananey owned the other half. The company spent NIS 30 million in 2000 buying content from international suppliers for channels 6 and 8. Giladi also bought the rights to Arutz HaYeladim's website, which at the time was one of the most popular Israeli websites by viewcount.[3]
Notorious productions from the company include The Island, The Eight, HaPijamot, Adomot, HaBigbagim, HaChevre HaTovim and Children of the Red Sea, for Arutz HaYeladim.
Since the late 2000s, the company is a subsidiary of RGE Group; executives have been trading their positions between the subsidiary and the parent on a regular basis in the late 2000s and early 2010s.[4][5][6] Facing the deterioration of children's programming in Israel, the company hired returnee Healy Horev-Kasuto in March 2021, who had previously administered the Logi channel.[7] In September 2020, Noga launched BIGI, an OTT streaming platform, created in the wake of the removal of Arutz HaYeladim and Logi from Yes and HOT.[8]
