Uploaded by TheDanielb2011 on Jul 2, 2011
The current nightly program NJN News will initially be replaced by NJ Today Summer Edition, airing in the same time slots. In the fall, NJ Today will premiere. The program will cover news across the state with a concentration on government and public policy, using taped stories and in-depth interviews.
The change comes after the New Jersey Treasurer issued a request for proposals to find alternative operating models for the state's only public television network in light of increasing budget pressures. WNET submitted a proposal to the state on behalf of PMNJ, which was selected by the Treasurer in May, endorsed by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in early June, and approved by the New Jersey legislature in late June. Under the agreement, PMNJ will provide programming and services for a five-year period. The broadcast license will continue to be maintained by the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority.
"We're excited about the launch of NJTV and what it will mean for New Jersey" said Neal Shapiro, Chairman of the Board of PMNJ and President and CEO of WNET. "We will continue a five-day-a-week news broadcast, NJ Today, which will run in the same time slots as NJN News. We'll broadcast a new programming schedule that will include popular PBS shows, including Charlie Rose and an expanded, uninterrupted "kids' block" Monday through Friday. WNET's world class Education Department will be working to provide New Jersey teachers with video clips and lesson plans pegged to the state's teaching standards. WNET is licensed to Newark, NJ and has been serving the people of the New York Metropolitan Area for nearly 50 years. We're pleased to have been chosen to run NJTV and to serve all the people and communities of New Jersey."
NJTV has committed to airing 20 hours per week of New Jersey-centric programming and will work with partners such as the Caucus Educational Corporation and others to create original content.
