We all know that New Jersey gets short shrift when it comes to media coverage in New York and Philadelphia; it’s why our radio station exists! You know, “Not New York, Not Philadelphia, Proud to be New Jersey!"

There is also a hole in the state's television coverage, even with 9 million people living here. News 12 New Jersey tries, but not everyone can get it. Now comes word that a new media venture is trying to help fill that broadcasting hole.
