³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

In 1968, Governor Richard J. Hughes signed into law the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Public Broadcasting Authority Act of 1968 establishing the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Public Broadcasting Authority (NJPBA) in response to the inability of both commercial and public broadcasters to adequately cover public affairs in the State of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.

The NJPBA is the FCC licensee of the following television broadcast stations which are operated in concert as a statewide network:

Station	Community of License	FCC Public Inspection Files*

WNJS(TV)	Camden, NJ
W23EX-D	Sussex, NJ
W29EV-D	Hackettstown, NJ
W27EC-D	Belvidere, NJ

Effective July 1, 2011, the NJPBA entered into a Programming and Services Agreement (PSA) with Public Media, NJ, a not-for-profit corporation, to provide public television programming and services on these channels under the name of NJ PBS and online at . This PSA will expire June 30, 2026.

The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ State Treasurer has issued the NJPBA Television Broadcast Stations Agreements Request for Proposals to solicit responses for a broad range of agreements, including programming and management services (similar to NJPBA’s current PSA), channel sharing agreements, and other operational support agreements, such as fundraising, back-office services, and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ-centric programming services, to enable the ongoing operations of NJPBA’s noncommercial educational public television stations as set forth in the Transfer Act. All interested and qualified entities are encouraged to respond.
