==History== {{main|New Jersey Network}} The station was formerly owned and operated by the [[New Jersey Network]]. NJN's radio network began operation May 20, 1991, when [[WNJT-FM]] in Trenton signed on. Eight other stations would be established over the following seventeen years. On June 6, 2011, the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority agreed to sell five FM stations in southern New Jersey to WHYY. The transaction was announced by [[Governor of New Jersey|Governor]] [[Chris Christie]], as part of his long-term goal to end State-subsidized public broadcasting. The five stations previously belonged to [[New Jersey Network]]'s statewide radio service.<ref name=WHYY-PR>{{cite news |title=Press release: "WHYY-FM TO EXPAND COVERAGE IN NEW JERSEY AS PART OF AGREEMENT TO TAKE OVER FIVE NJN STATIONS." |url=http://www.whyy.org/about/pressroom/documents/20110630NJNstations.pdf |accessdate=July 3, 2011 |newspaper=WHYY, Inc. |date=June 30, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304124229/http://www.whyy.org/about/pressroom/documents/20110630NJNstations.pdf |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> WHYY assumed control of the stations through a management agreement on July 1, 2011, pending [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) approval for the acquisition; at that point, the stations began to carry the WHYY-FM schedule.<ref name=acc-whyyonnjn>{{cite news|title=WHYY Philadelphia Expands New Jersey Coverage, NJN Is Kaput|url=http://blogs.atlanticcityweekly.com/ac-central/2011/07/01/whyy-philadelphia-expands-new-jersey-coverage-njn-is-kaput/|accessdate=July 1, 2011|newspaper=Atlantic City Central|date=July 1, 2011}}</ref>
