 It began with the downturn of WJNL-TV, which lost its CBS affiliation to WTAJ-TV after the Johnstown and Altoona TV markets were merged into one.The radio stations, already crippled by the fall of Johnstown's lucrative coal and steel industries, were unable to sustain the TV station's sudden drop in revenue, and the TV station was eventually sold off, leaving WJNL-AM-FM to continue on.The radio stations continued to operate until the end of the decade, when both were acquired by Pennsylvania Broadcast Associates (dba Dame Media).
