This is driving me crazy - I can't find it, but could have sworn it was there somewhere in the hundreds of channels that we never watch and rarely flip through...

Anyone know?

TIA.

No...their commercial state "only on cable...never on Fios or satellite".

Thanks, Esiders.

I see that that exact slogan is on their homepage now - duh.

Rastro - thanks, but NJN and News 12 NJ are different. (rats)

The FCC requires cable or satellite dish companies (actually, multi-channel video providers) that own channels to offer (for a fee) those channels if they are transmitted by satellite to any other MVPD that wants it. That way, Comcast, for instance, can't keep the NBC channels from Verizon for marketing reasons. However, if the channel is owned by and delivered to the MVPD's various headends, or points of distribution, terrestrially (a/k/a microwave), there is no requirement that they offer this programming to another MVPD such as Verizon.
