Television Station
From 1999 to January 1, 2009, Saddle Brook had a Public-access television cable TV station with news bulletins (channel 77 on Cablevision and channels 38 and 39 on Verizon FiOS). This station was called SBC-TV. This public-access television channel was created in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd hit Saddle Brook in September 1999 so the town would have a way of receiving alerts. This station was shut down because of this station was not included in the budget for 2009. The station was once again placed on the air in 2011 with an all-volunteer staff, airing Township Council meetings and providing information of Township services, events and activities via a scrolling message board.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or station:
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
