You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026. Your current IP address is 3.83.108.230.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''New Jersey Public Radio''' ('''NJPR''') is an [[National Public Radio|NPR]] member [[radio network|network]] serving portions of [[North Jersey|northern New Jersey]] on four licensed stations: 88.1 '''WNJT-FM''' in [[Trenton, New Jersey|Trenton]], 88.5 '''WNJP''' in [[Sussex, New Jersey|Sussex]], 89.3 '''WNJY''' in [[Netcong, New Jersey|Netcong]], and 90.3 '''WNJO''' in [[Toms River, New Jersey|Toms River]], which were the four northernmost radio stations of the [[New Jersey Network]] (NJN) until 2011.  NJPR is owned by [[New York Public Radio]] (NYPR), which also owns the two [[WNYC]] and two [[WQXR-FM]] stations.<ref name=wnyc-formation>{{cite news|last=Flanagan|first=Jenna|title=New York Public Radio Acquires Four NJN Radio Stations|url=http://www.wnyc.org/blogs/wnyc-news-blog/2011/jun/29/new-york-public-radio-acquires-four-njn-radio-stations/|access-date=July 1, 2011|newspaper=[[WNYC]]|date=June 30, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907080050/http://www.wnyc.org/blogs/wnyc-news-blog/2011/jun/29/new-york-public-radio-acquires-four-njn-radio-stations/|archive-date=September 7, 2011}}</ref> NJPR primarily serves northern New Jersey residents who are unable to get a clear signal from the WNYC stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wnyc.org/series/new-jersey-public-radio/about|title=New Jersey Public Radio|access-date=September 7, 2023}}</ref>  {{cns|date=August 2022|The network went on the air on July 1, 2011, after NJN ended operations the day before.}}

==Overview==
{{details|New Jersey Network}}
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.<ref>Behrens, Steve. [http://www.current.org/funding/funding0808njn.shtml With its state aid shrinking, NJN asks for independence] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617120129/http://www.current.org/funding/funding0808njn.shtml |date=June 17, 2011 }}.  [[Current (magazine)|Current]], May 12, 2008.</ref>  However, on June 6, 2011, [[Governor of New Jersey|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 network.<ref name=NJN060611>[http://www.nbc40.net/news/17927/ NJN Press release (via WMGM-TV): "GOV. CHRISTIE SELECTS WNET FOR NJN TAKEOVER", June 6, 2011.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610161158/http://www.nbc40.net/news/17927/ |date=June 10, 2011 }}</ref> A formal agreement was signed on June 29.<ref name=wnyc-formation/>  NYPR assumed control of the stations under a management agreement on July 1; the [[Federal Communications Commission]] approved the sale on August 29, 2011.

==Programming==
Originally, New Jersey Public Radio's programming was largely identical to the programming that had been offered by NJN;<ref name=wnyc-formation /> consisting primarily of national programming from NPR, [[Public Radio Exchange]], and [[American Public Media]], as well as a simulcast of [[WBGO]]'s [[Jazz music|jazz]] programming in the overnight hours.

On January 12, 2012; NJPR rolled out a new schedule.  Among the highlights were a local host for ''[[Morning Edition]]'' and increased New Jersey-centric news and information content in partnership with the New Jersey News Service, headquartered at [[Montclair State University]].<ref>[http://www.njpublicradio.org/press/njprlaunch New Jersey Public Radio Announces New Programming Schedule To Launch Thursday, January 12]. [[WNYC|New York Public Radio]], January 4, 2012.</ref>

==Stations==
Due to the crowded state of the noncommercial end of the FM dial in the northeastern United States, the four New Jersey Public Radio stations all operate at relatively low power.  None has an [[Effective radiated power|ERP]] greater than 4,000 watts.

All four NJPR stations were knocked off the air on October 29, 2012, after [[Hurricane Sandy]].  While WNJY, WNJP and WNJT returned to the air by November 3, once power and studio to transmitter link connections could be restored, it took until December 14 to get WNJO back on the air as its transmitter is located near [[Seaside Park, New Jersey|Seaside Park]] on the [[Barnegat Peninsula]], which was inaccessible from mainland New Jersey for some time after the storm. This transmitter site experienced long term utility outages for both power and audio connectivity. New York Public Radio engineering director Jim Stagnitto initially feared that the WNJO transmitter was swept into [[Barnegat Bay]], but found it intact when his team was able to access the site.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radioworld.com/article/-stagnitto-a-view-from-new-york/216191|title=Stagnitto: A View From New York|publisher=[[Radio World]]|date=November 2, 2012|access-date=November 5, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fybush.com/nerw-10292012/|title=NERW 10/29/2012: Sandy Takes Aim at NERW-land (with Friday update)|last=Fybush|first=Scott|date=October 29 – November 2, 2012|publisher=Northeast Radio Watch|access-date=November 5, 2012}}</ref><ref>Lapin, Andrew.
