Channels 23 / 50 / 52 / 58 (PBS)

A network of four channels covering the New Jersey state.

  • Documentaries produced by NJN were "Doctor Who's Who's Who" (1985) and "Doctor Who Then & Now" (1987).
  • 1986: The series aired on Saturdays, at 9.00pm.
  • 1988: On Saturday, 19 November 1988, after playing Dragonfire, the NJN screened "The Making of Silver Nemesis", one of several specially-commissioned behind the scenes / interview specials produced by the Network.
  • 5 September 1992: Doctor Who moves to an earlier 5.00pm timeslot, starting with a marathon of Dalek stories, followed by package of Cybermen serials - but not The Tomb of the Cybermen, which is deemed too expensive!
  • 13 August 1994: After over ten years of almost uninterrupted screenings of Doctor Who, the New Jersey Network drops the series; the final story to be broadcast is The Deadly Assassin. The reasons cited for this are declining viewers, dwindling donations and increased residual payment demands made by Lionheart.
  • Between 1983 and 1994, NJN enjoyed runs of every surviving full story at least twice, with the Tom Baker stories played as many as six times.
