Jewish Life Television (JLTV) is a 24-hour, full-time TV network delivering entertaining Jewish-themed programming. The network was founded in 2007 by Phil Blazer, a longtime journalist and producer of programming for the Jewish community. In the United States, JLTV is available in over 40 million households through DirecTV, Charter Spectrum, Comcast, Google Fiber, Atlantic Broadband (only in South Florida), and independent cable systems. JLTV does not charge a retransmission consent fee for carriage and offers its linear feed for free on the Internet.
JLTV's programming includes news, sports, lifestyle and entertainment programming such as films, documentaries, music, reviews, interviews and special events, such as programming from the Maccabiah Games. The network also carries a collection of classic general-interest television series with Jewish hosts, including episodes of The Jack Benny Program, That Show with Joan Rivers, Candid Camera, The Danny Kaye Show, The Soupy Sales Show and The Goldbergs.
