Jewish Life Television/ JLTV announced today that its original television program Air Land & Sea has been honored with a Silver Award in the “Travel/Tourism Television” Category in the 41st Annual Telly Awards.
The Telly Awards honors excellence in television and video across all screens and is judged by leaders from video platforms, television and streaming networks.
On JLTV’s global travel series Air Land & Sea, Host Brad Pomerance uncovers the triumphs and tribulations of the Jewish people both past and present around the world, while at the same time offering its audience a deep dive into what makes the respective destination a must-see for the secular traveler as well.
To date, the intrepid crew of Air Land & Sea has featured Barbados, Cuba, Czech, Germany, Jamaica, Nevis, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, U.S. Virgin Islands and more. Air Land & Sea is broadcast on Sundays at 9:00PM ET/PT on JLTV, www.jltv.tv/channels.
On the episode which was honored, entitled “The Jews of Switzerland,” Host Brad Pomerance delves into Swiss Jewish life, historically and modern day, with visits to Basel, the birthplace of Zionism, the Swiss “Shtetl” towns of Endingen and Lengnau, and Zurich, the city with the largest Jewish population in Switzerland. This episode can be viewed on demand at http:// www.jltv.tv/videos.php?id=65&play=2209.
“With its travel series Air Land & Sea, Jewish Life Television is pushing the boundaries for television innovation and creativity at a time when the industry is rapidly changing,” said Sabrina Dridje, Managing Director of the Telly Awards.
Air Land & Sea Host and Series Producer Brad Pomerance said, “Receiving this honor for this particular episode of Air Land & Sea is particularly meaningful because I had the opportunity to interview one of Anne Frank’s relatives, whose family survived the war because they had fled to neutral Switzerland, while Anne’s family fled to ultimately Nazi-occupied Holland.”
Jewish Life Television/JLTV is North America’s premiere 24-7 Jewish-themed television network. JLTV is available in over 45 million homes through DirecTV, Comcast, Spectrum, Bell and other video providers.
