Well, according to Tom Taylor, here's how NJN Radio's being carved up: WNYC's buying stations in Trenton, Toms River, Netcong and Sussex and will start a "Jersey-centric" service for those stations instead of simulcasting WNYC or WQXR (which some classical music buffs would've preferred, since the 105.9 signal QXR is on now doesn't reach into Jersey very well), so that should mean Joisey talk shows instead of Brian Lehrer and Lenny Lopate. WHYY's getting the Berlin, Bridgeton, Atlantic City, Cape May and Manahawkin stations and I suspect those stations will simulcast Marty Moss-Coane and the rest of the WHYY schedule. -- TV or Not TV ....
