WNJJ-TV

WNJJ-TV, virtual channel 22 (UHF digital channel 16) is a CBS affiliated station licensed to Newark, New Jersey. It is one of the only network affiliates licensed to New Jersey to actually serve the state.
== History ==
The station first signed on as an dual-affiliate of NBC and the DuMont Television Network under the callsign WNDO-TV in 1952. It was the only UHF television station licensed to New Jersey at the time. 
WNDO struggled as it was on UHF, which was still quite new by the time WNDO made it to the air. UHF required a converter for TV sets not equipped with UHF tuning, and even then reception would be marginal at best. WNDO's ratings were consistently low as a result. 
WNDO began to broadcast it's NBC programming in color in 1955. NBC provided finances for the station to upgrade it's transmitter so that it was compatible with color NTSC signals.
The station dropped DuMont after it's transition to sports-only, although DuMont's very last broadcast (a 1957 high school football game) was syndicated on the station, being the only color DuMont program. 
In 1967 the station had changed it's callsign to WNJJ to reflect their service area's name.
=== Loss of affiliation ===
In 1972 NBC had decided not to renew their affiliation agreement with WNJJ, citing that their New York affiliate WNBC had more reliable reception in the Newark area. WNJJ continued operating as an independent station.
