The state Treasurer has delivered to the NJ legislature the Christie administration’s 2,300-page report on a deal to hand over the operations of New Jersey Network to New York-based channel 13. Under the terms of the agreement, public broadcaster WNET will operate a far leaner NJN, which will be renamed NJTV. The new operation will be downsized from the current 120 state workers to 15-20 employees working for the new non-profit.
