LBITV has expanded to the mainland. Its programming showcasing the shore can now be seen in 118,000 homes and businesses, including all of Long Beach Island and the mainland communities of Manahawkin, Barnegat, Forked River and Toms River to the north; and Eagleswood, Little Egg Harbor, Tuckerton and through New Gretna to the south, said producer Michael Paul.

The mainland expansion adds 103,000 homes and businesses to the previous Long Beach Island reach of 15,000, Paul said.
