Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) assets are already set aside to do good. By recommending a grant to NJ PBS, you can help us pay for the New Jersey content we’re hoping to grow, along with the PBS shows you already love.
DAF gifts can take several weeks to reach a nonprofit, so starting now helps your support arrive before the end of the year.

NJ PBS is excited to announce that veteran journalist and New Jersey native Rob Nelson will serve as anchor of its new daily newscast, NJ PBS News with Rob Nelson.
Nelson brings 25 years of experience in print, local television and national broadcast journalism to NJ PBS. A native of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, he has reported and anchored for some of the nation's leading news organizations, including ABC News, WABC-TV in New York City, NewsNation and Scripps News.
The announcement comes as NJ PBS prepares for a new chapter under the leadership of the College of Communication and Media at Montclair State University. Montclair became the operator of New Jersey's public television stations on July 1, 2026, and the university assumes full control of NJ PBS programming and the daily newscast on Oct. 1, 2026.

Very relieved everyone is safe in DC tonight. The WHCD has hosted presidents for decades. This is one of the most well-secured and well-known (to law enforcement) places in Washington. How anyone could get close to this event with a weapon is almost inconceivable.
