NJN Public Television and Radio is the State's educational telecommunications network providing universal access to award-winning services that emphasize the special needs of New Jersey.

NJN, a PBS member station, has been on the air since 1971, informing and engaging viewers with compelling portraits of regional issues of concern and a multitude of ambitious community outreach projects.

NJN Public Television serves the informational, cultural and educational needs of its viewers who live throughout New Jersey, and in parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware.

NJN is one of the leading producers of local programming in the PBS system that is comprised of more than 300 affiliates nationwide. In the Garden State, NJN is available to each of the state's 2.8-million television households - regardless of cable subscription. NJN, affiliated with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), operates broadcast channels 23, 50, 52, 58 and Digital Broadcast channel, 43.

Our mission is to provide broad-ranging television and radio programs to New Jerseyans in three principle areas: Educational and Training Programs and Services; Citizen Information Empowerment; Telecommunications Coordination and Technical Services. NJN's broadcast schedule is a mix of educational programs (K-12 and post secondary), PBS programs, acquisitions, and local series and specials.

Note: As of January 1, 2006, 100 percent of new programming must be captioned. Therefore, NJN now requires producers to deliver only closed captioned programs.
