We are deeply concerned by the news regarding NJ PBS. This is a devastating loss for the state’s identity.
Although there will be ongoing news coverage through WNET, it is still a blow to a state that is already underserved by media coverage and urgently needs a strong voice dedicated to New Jersey’s issues.
Our hope is that complete ownership and control of NJ PBS returns to New Jersey as that will serve the state best.
We strongly urge the governor and Legislature to explore options to keep NJ PBS operating as a New Jersey entity.
