Shalom TV Executives: Rabbi Mark S. Golub, President/CEO; Bradford N. Hammer, COO; Edith Samers, VP/Marketing; David Brugnone, VP/Sales; Dr. Evgueni Lvov, VP/Operations Long term View: Cynopsis MCE Question: "How do you see Shalom TV evolving over the course of the next 5-10 years?" Rabbi Mark S. Golub, President/CEO: "There has been a stunning void in Jewish programming on American television and we hope that Shalom TV will help fill that void. As a mainstream cultural network, rather than a ‘religious' network, we believe that Shalom TV will appeal to virtually every corner of the American Jewish community and that Shalom TV will become a part of every Jewish home. In addition, we know there are many other thoughtful and bright individuals of other faiths who are interested in learning more about Jewish life, the Jewish tradition and the Holy Land of Israel. Shalom TV will simply celebrate the totality of Jewish life and culture with entertaining, informative and compelling programming."
