Essa Grayeb, on May 5, 2007, said:

Galgalatz is an Israeli radio station operated by Galei Tzahal (abbrev: Galatz), part of the Israeli Army Radio, est. 1950 and located in Jaffa. The station was established in 1993 and broadcasts primarily nonstop popular music and traffic reports, and few content programs. The station was established with the aid of the Israeli Ministry of Transportation (the Israeli National Authority for Traffic Safety), and frequently broadcasts Traffic Safety messages. At the top of every hour the station broadcasts a news bulletin off of Galatz.

The radio station receives extremely high ratings in Israel, especially amongst the younger crowd: The percentage of 18 year old listeners during 2006 was approximately 25%. The station broadcasters, primarily Israeli soldiers in service, have been trained as radio broadcasters at Galatz.
