 ## Background
 
-The first of four New Jersey PBS stations that eventually made up NJN, WNJT went on the air in 1971, followed in 1972 by WNJS, and in 1973 by WNJN and WNJB. The state-owned stations were operated by the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority first under the name New Jersey Public Television and later as New Jersey Network or NJN. In 2011, the State entered into an agreement with Public Media NJ, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, to provide public television programming and services on these channels under the name of NJ PBS and online at [mynjpbs.org](https://www.njtvonline.org/). The NJPBA contributed items to the AAPB starting in 2014.

 ## Summary
 
-The Pacifica Radio Archives Collection is a selection of more than 300 historically significant programs produced by the Pacifica Network, a public radio network based in Berkeley, CA.  The programs, dating from the late 1950s to 1980, have been digitally preserved by the Pacifica Radio Archives. Much of the collection documents leading reform and radical movements of this period, emphasizing a common thread of social justice and covering cultural, educational, health-related, historical, legal, political, psychological, racial, religious, philosophical, and social aspects of our society. The collection offers interviews and addresses with Civil Rights and Black Power activists visiting the Berkeley area, including Rosa Parks, James Bevel, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, and Stokely Carmichael, and beginning in the late 1960s covers Black Panther activities in the Bay Area. The Pacifica stations also embraced the performing and literary arts, providing a stage to experiment with radio drama, spoken word, sound sculpture and the art of radio documentary.

-## Background
 
-The Pacifica Foundation was founded by Lewis Hill in 1947 with ties to the peace movement and committed to dialogue to further social justice concerns. Beginning in 1949 with KPFA-94.1 Berkeley, CA, the network added four stations (WBAI 99.5 FM -NYC, KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles, WPFW 89.3 FM Washington D.C., and KPFT 90.1 FM Houston, TX.) over the next 28 years.
+## Background
 
-The Pacifica Radio Archives were established in 1971, beginning as a repository for station programmers to deposit taped programs of exceptional historic value, appropriate for rebroadcast by other stations, or as "archival source material" for radio producers, artists, scholars, and others. The Archives contains over 100,000 program units, 40,000 of which have descriptive records (available at pacificaradioarchives.org), 18,000 of which have been digitally preserved. In 2014, Pacifica Radio Archives contributed more than 300 of their digitized holdings to the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.
