The half-hour pilot premiered last July 11 on NJTV, the state’s public-broadcasting network. The episode, which was nominated in the “Magazine Programs” category, explores the top attractions and popular neighborhoods of Hudson County’s Gold Coast communities of Hoboken and Jersey City. The Gold Coast episode is underwritten by Coldwell Banker and K. Hovnanian Homes.
The rest of the six-episode season will roll out this spring on NJTV.
“This is believed to be the first Emmy nomination in the 36-year history of New Jersey Monthly,” says Ken Schlager, editorial consultant for the show and editor of New Jersey Monthly. “Naturally, we’re all thrilled.”
