Dana International is said to be in contact with the new national TV channel in Israel, Channel 10, for a new weekly entertainment chat/music magazine, starting in January 2003.

Shay Kerem, Dana Intl's manager, said that Channel 10 did approach them, but so did other TV channel's, in Israel and in Europe (!). He said Dana is considering all options, although it does seem to be that Dana will get her own show on one of the main TV channels in Israel soon.

Channel 10 is a new channel which caused quite a stir recently for recruiting Top Israel TV personalities for great sums of money, that before were not known in the Israeli media business. It is said, that Channel 10 will eventually be the most popular channel in Israel, overtaking the ever popular Channel 2

It does seem logical that Dana will turn to TV hosting at this stage. Her musical career is, well, almost over, and her albums is Israel are not as successful as they used to be until 1998. Her best selling album is still the 'Diva' compilation from March 1998.

I think she will be very smart to make the move, because she has the charisma and character to do so. It would be very interesting to see her hosting her own show
