Repeats Tuesdays 5.30am
“THE SHTICK” is a 30-minute television program, screened twice weekly on Melbourne Community Channel 31. It is a showcase of humor, music, interviews, community events, information, and entertainment for the wider Jewish community and offers an opportunity to have a valuable link to their culture.
As the face of the Jewish community on TV, and online, The Shtick provides an on-screen arena for Jewish talent, a link for youth, and an insight into local Jewish life, organizations, and personalities.
With a mission to entertain, inform and foster understanding and cohesion within the diverse Jewish and wider multi-cultural Australia, The Shtick is the only television production to regularly emanate from the Jewish Community of Melbourne, or anywhere in Australia or the entire Southern Hemisphere for that matter.
Colorful elements of comedy, culture and music, woven into the fabric of the show all serve to draw on the spiritual wealth and depth of Judaism.
Since August 2004, The Shtick production team, led by Henry Greener, has put to air over 800 shows, each with fresh and topical content. Now in its 77th Season on C31, The SHTICK can be viewed online anytime, anywhere on any device from our YouTube Channel TheShtick TV via the link from www.theshtick.tv.
The introduction of the digital broadcast of C31 has seen TV reception and reach improve significantly. Together with our website and use of social media, we now have a much improved and stronger avenue to reach a worldwide audience.
Since 2006 we have uploaded over 2800 Videos to our YouTube Channel TheShtick TV, which allows viewers to watch all our shows online and will be a valuable historical document as it is being archived for future generations.
The SHTICK is broadcast from C31 every Sunday at 5.30 pm and Repeats Tuesday at 5.30 am. Despite misinformation, since our 6th reprieve, C31 is now on an Indefinite Extension. With further lobbying and campaigning, it will survive on TV well into the future, and as technology improves we will transit to another platform for a better and brighter future outcome.
The vital importance of The Shtick as a digital media portal for the community cannot be understated, and its production depends on continued financial support from our valued Sponsors.
“The SHTICK” welcomes community participation on camera, behind the camera, as a viewer, member, or as a sponsor. Oz Shalom TV Inc. is a not-for-profit Incorporated Association, and Sponsorship is fully tax-deductible.
