Where does South Jersey begin?

And I still don't like them because I posted it twice!

So you know about it!

Phillipsburg is a big case study. You are looking at a minimum of 50% Philadelphia media and sports teams in this city.

East Jersey and West Jersey is not perfect but it's more accurate than South Jersey/North Jersey.

When I first moved to Camden County people would tell me, "oh, everything north of 195 is North Jersey."
OK - but the north half of Jackson or Howell isn't in North Jersey while the southern part is in South Jersey. No one there thinks about it that way.

But the same people would try to tell me that Toms River was also North Jersey.
if by "North" you mean "East" then sure.

That's fine - but it's still the case that all of Ocean County gets TV from both cities.

Just looked up Tuckerton and if it's with a digital antenna then Tuckerton is Philly only (and this actually extends north to around Manahawkin). If it's cable, it's network TV from both cities.

Yes, channels without cable would be the one to go by. The football game would be the giveaway too, though. The Sunday regional game is always on Fox and only Fox. It's either Giants or Eagles (if both are playing at the same time that day), one or the other. So we'll have to wait till next year, lol.

I would consider Tuckerton south Jersey.
