Note on Ocean County:
The southern portion of Ocean County (from Forked River on down) is part of South Jersey. They are not in the NYC metro area and are in the Philly area. New York City television stations do not broadcast in this area, only Philadelphia stations do. If you ever watch a Philadelphia newscast involving Ocean County towns such as Barnegat, Manahawkin, and Tuckerton, they will be referred to as SOUTH JERSEY towns.
[edit] Ocean County
Alright, I know that the Philly newscasts count areas like Toms River and Barnegat in their stories, as well as LBI being a Philly destination. However, I also know that Lakewood northward is definitely NYC-oriented. So, how should this be solved? It looks like right now someone readded Ocean County, but classified it by saying "(Southern portion)". Should we leave it like that, or do we include/exclude it? This is a hard one, only because it seems like both metros are fighting over control of it and both sides would be right. EaglesFanInTampa (formerly Jimbo) 15:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- There are no hard-and-fast boundaries of South, Central, North Jersey, etc., and as long as there are sources to show that Ocean County is considered South Jersey, why shouldn't it be included. There's no reason that certain border counties shouldn't be listed as in both south and central, not just one or the other, with a listing on south saying it's also considered central, and vice versa.

- That's what I was thinking, but I noticed it's been changed at least a dozen times in the past few days, so hence the need to talk about it. EaglesFanInTampa (formerly Jimbo) 17:04, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
