FEBRUARY 2017 All Hail the Queen! The image of Queen Victoria seared into popular culture is one of a dour older woman, swathed in black, looking as if she never cracked a smile. So when Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who), a beautiful slip of a woman, portrays her as joyful, it’s jolting. At age 18 — still known as Alexandrina, and playing with dolls—she is awakened one morning and informed she is now queen of England. Welcome to the world of Victoria, a new seven-part Masterpiece miniseries premiering this month on NJTV. Boasting grand sets, lush countryside, and political intrigue, the lavish series is one of the highlights of our popular Wednesday night drama line-up. Following Queen Victoria from her accession to the throne in 1837, through her education in politics, courtship, marriage, and epic 63-year reign, Victoria paints a portrait of a monarch who was raised to be the pawn of her powerful elders, but who wasted no time in showing the empire who was in charge.

His two weekly series, On the Record and Reporters Roundtable, have been gathering one-on-one and group discussion about headlining news with the politicians, thought leaders and journalists behind them since 1989. “I always say that New Jersey never lets you down when it comes to things to cover,” Aron said. “And the longevity of my two series shows that the interest in issues, politics especially, “REPORTERS ROUNDTABLE” AIRS SATURDAYS AT 6PM, SUNDAYS AT 10AM never wanes with viewers.” In the coming months, look for Aron to dissect New Jersey’s issues “ON THE RECORD” SATURDAYS AT 6:30PM, SUNDAYS AT 10:30AM with the state’s 2017 gubernatorial candidates and more.
