triple j tv

triple j tv (formerly jtv) is the name given to a series of Australian television programmes which started broadcast in July 2006 as a television spin-off of national radio broadcaster Triple J. They are broadcast on ABC1 and ABC2 as well as available online. As with Triple J, it focuses on youth-oriented (18–35) programming.

A "teaser" web page and advertisements were released on the ABC in early July. The full site at http://jtv.com.au went live on 27 July 2006. jtv's first broadcast was on 28 July 2006, with the debut jtv live being broadcast the following night: a You Am I concert recorded at the Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney.

ABC TV's Rage music program has re-broadcast selected live concerts of triple j tv in each year since 2009, to make up for the lack of new release video clips available to the ABC at that time.

Programmes

Current programmes include:

• triple j tv presents live video (various times on ABC1 and ABC2) – live concert events, similar to Triple J's Live at the Wireless show.
• The Urban Monkey with Murray Foote – Sam Simmons' new comedy project.

There are also shows featuring documentaries and comedy, although specific dates and times have not yet been released by the station.

Former programmes include:

• triple j tv with The Doctor (Monday night 9:05pm on ABC2 and late Friday night on ABC1) – Each week the Doctor is making a house call.
• triple j tv (late Friday night on ABC1 and Monday night on ABC2), a look at triple j behind the scenes – including interviews, live performances and weekly Hack segment.
• The Hack Half Hour (Monday night 8:30pm on ABC2), Steve Cannane talks about the issues that impact your life.
• jtv (Friday night on ABC1) – a behind the scenes look at triple j, interviews, live performances, and weekly Hack segment.
• jtv Saturday (Saturday morning on ABC1) – a music video show hosted by Rosie Beaton. This programme featured a countdown of the Top 20 Super Request tracks, as voted by Triple J listeners and jtv viewers.
• jtv XL (Tuesday night on ABC2) – an alternate version of the previous Friday's edition of jtv, often with extended interviews.
• jtv live (various times on ABC1 and ABC2) – live concert events, similar to Triple J's Live at the Wireless show.
