BONJ Weekend: News 12 NJ and Opening Festival Concert


The News 12 New Jersey segment on The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey will be featured once again this weekend in the station's arts and entertainment series "ON THE SCENE With John Bathke." 

This episode is dedicated to the struggles and triumphs of the arts during the pandemic. It airs on News 12 New Jersey Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 & 3:30 PM each day. News 12 is available on Cable and Fios. Check your local program guide.

News 12 New Jersey is NOT the same as New Jersey Network, which is usually on channel 12. You need to check your cable listings—for example, on FIOS in Madison, it is Channel 29.
