[edit] History
Shalom TV was founded in 2003 and began telecasting three years later. In 2008, Comcast, the largest cable television provider in the United States, launched Shalom TV nationally. The network has since expanded to more than 20 video distributors, and stands as the most distributed Jewish cable television network in American history.
[edit] Programming
Shalom TV airs public affairs events of interest to the North American Jewish community, as well as televising American, Israeli and Yiddish films; roundtable discussion of issues facing the Jewish community worldwide; Jewish Studies (including the teaching of Hebrew and commentary on basic tenets of Judaism); children’s programs; 92nd Street Y presentations; Israeli and American Jewish cultural shows, interviews with leading figures on the world Jewish stage, and Israel travelogues.
Shalom TV also produces High Holiday services and original series for Jewish singles—most notably “From Date to Mate”, a mockumentary about the urban dating scene.
