New Jersey Public Radio (NJPR) is an NPR member network serving portions of northern New Jersey. It is owned by New York Public Radio (NYPR), which also owns WNYC-AM-FM and WQXR-FM in New York City and WQXR's simulcast station WQXW in Ossining, New York. The network comprises the four northernmost radio stations of the former New Jersey Network (NJN). It mainly covers the few areas of northern New Jersey that don't get a good signal from the WNYC stations. The network went on the air on July 1, 2011, after NJN ended operations the day before. ==Overview==
The seeds which led to the formation of New Jersey Public Radio were planted in 2008, when NJN officials asked the New Jersey Legislature for permission to explore the possibility of spinning-off into a non-profit entity, independent from state funding.〔Behrens, Steve. (With its state aid shrinking, NJN asks for independence ). Current, 2008-05-12.〕 However, on June 6, 2011, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who vowed to end state-funded public broadcasting upon taking office in 2010, announced the sale of the radio network. The northern part of the network was sold to New York Public Radio, which used the stations to start a new New Jersey-focused public radio station.〔(NJN Press release (via WMGM-TV): "GOV. CHRISTIE SELECTS WNET FOR NJN TAKEOVER", June 6, 2011. )〕 A formal agreement was signed on June 29.〔 NYPR assumed control of the stations under a management agreement on July 1; the Federal Communications Commission approved the sale later in 2011.
