Channel 13/WNET Reportedly Receives $4 Million to Run New Jersey Network

Channel 13 WNET’s new nonprofit goup created to operate New Jersey’s public television network won’t have to pay for management rights. But NJ.com reports, WNET is set to receive $4 million in fees and grants as part of the deal.

The new WNET subsidiary gets a $2 million grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, previously awarded to the struggling New Jersey Network.  NJ.com says it will also get to keep about $2 million in tower rental fees that private companies pay to NJN.
