The morning after the announcement of the sports channel’s presenter, Miri Nevo, during a broadcast that Modi Bar-On is “dealing with a complex medical situation,” Ichilov Hospital announced today (Tuesday) that the 59-year-old presenter has cancer and is being treated by them.
“Ichilov Medical Center reports that TV personality Modi Bar-On is battling cancer and is hospitalized in the hospital’s oncology department.
As mentioned, the news was reported last night by Nevo during the half of the game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, who said: “We want to take the opportunity and share with you our spectators, who turn and wonder where Modi Bar-On, who has not appeared on your screen lately,” Nevo began Her words. “So here it is: Moody has been dealing with a complex medical situation lately. And as you have already gotten to know him, so too is he treating it professionally and thoroughly, properly.
“We would like to thank the medical staff at Ichilov for the professional and dedicated care they give him. We here at the sports channel wish Modi complete medicine and we will wait for him here, with you, patiently, until he finishes his affairs and returns to us stronger than ever and with everything completely behind him.”
Bar-On, one of the characters most identified with the sports channel, came to the 1994 channel and has been broadcasting there continuously ever since. Behind him are hundreds of transmitters and programs, including the Premier League’s round-robin summary program and the “Press Stand.” But most of all, he is considered affiliated with the Champions League studio, as part of which he also helped to create special videos featuring the channel stars each year before the finals. In recent weeks, Bar-On has been absent from the submission of the main broadcaster of the Premier League, which he has submitted regularly in recent years.
