Kol Mevaser (Template:Lang-he) is a Yiddish broadcaster, which runs as a news hotline. It has options for news, weather forecasts and traffic reports, together with scholarly information on several issues which are important to the Yiddish-speaking Haredi Jewish community, and interviews with important figures.^[1]

Programming and content

Kol Mevaser was established in 2005 by Zalmen Wieder who is still the main news presenter on the hotline.^[1] Kol Mevaser serves as a replacement for radio broadcasting for the Yiddish-speaking Orthodox Jewish community which relies heavily on news and information within the community that is delivered in Yiddish. It is one of the main sources of information for the Yiddish-speaking community globally with the largest audiences in the US, Canada, Israel and the U.K.

The news is broadcast throughout the day, with the main news programs – the local & world news and Jewish news – being updated twice a day. The political news and business news are updated daily by Yossi Gestetner who also gives analysis on current events.^[2] Other categories are updated less frequently,^[1] and interviews are conducted by Yitzchok Shloma Dresnser.

Listening options are news (Jewish, Hasidic, local, national, world, political, health, business) and current event interviews; weather; lottery winning numbers; long interviews, health, business and politics; Torah issues (including history and biographies of Tzadikim); traffic and a special music section with the latest in Religious Jewish music.
