New Jersey Network Information

New Jersey Network (NJN) is the state's educational telecommunications network providing universal access to award-winning programs and services that address the special needs of New Jersey and its citizens. In 1969, the members of the Governors' Commission on Public Broadcasting wrote that the authority shall "promote the intellectual, cultural and civic development of the community by providing a broad range of programs for all ages." For over 30 years, NJN has been the only television network accessible to all New Jersey households with or without cable. NJN puts New Jersey first, offering vital educational services to schools and individuals as well as news and public affairs and the best of public television and radio. As one of the largest producers of local programming in the PBS system, NJN develops and produces award-winning series and specials on health, the arts, legal issues, education, the environment and public affairs, along with documentaries on issues of concern to New Jersey citizens. NJN's work is made possible through successful public-private partnerships with government, businesses and individuals who share the network's commitment to providing a wide range of high quality programming and telecommunications services to New Jerseyans.
