If you have Cable, Dish or DirectTV you probable have channels that you don't even know exist. Last night I discovered the JLTV: Jewish Life TV. It might have been Channel 840 or something. Only recent I realized that I could watch the Sports Mix which carried the US Open Tennis Tournaments on channels 702, 703, 704, 705, 706, 707and 708 all at the same time. I was in 'tennis heaven'.
Back to JLTV. So its Saturday night and I am up late. There was nothing new on the news channels and I was not ready to sleep. Flicking around, I found a documentary. As a film and television producer who is currently working on several documentaries, I love watching news and documentary programs. I found the Hank Greenspun Story and I was hocked. I watched to the end and then it started again and watched from the beginning then pass the point where I first started. This was a riveting story of terror, war in the middle east, Las Vegas, Howard Hughes, the mob, FBI, Sen. Mc Carthy and more.
If there is BET, MTV, CMC, why was I surprised to find JLTV? It took a while but I grew to like Hank Greenspun. He took on the establishment, politicians, the mob, the Arab world and anyone he pleased. He was a media man. He owned a magazine, newspaper, radio station and TV station. He used his column, "Where I Stand" to set the record straight. I plan to use my blogs in much the same way.
By the end of the show, I really liked this guy. I will be watching JLTV. You should too.
