Jewish Life Television (JLTV) is an American entertainment television network broadcasting Jewish–themed programming. The network was founded in 2007 by Phil Blazer, a longtime journalist and producer of programming for the Jewish community;[1][2] Blazer remained with the network until his death in August 2020.[3] The JLTV is funded by the Jewish Life Foundation,[4][5] and its remaining earnings come from advertising.[6][7]

In the United States, JLTV is available in almost 50 million households through Comcast, Spectrum and DirecTV as well as various regional cable systems, in addition to offering a live feed of its programming on the Internet.[8] JLTV's broadcast facilities are located in Los Angeles, California.[9]
