Though the AM station was no longer co-owned with the TV station, WJAC, Inc. allowed Winston Radio to continue using the WJAC call letters for the duration of its ownership. This privilege expired upon Altoona's Forever Broadcasting's acquisition of WJAC in 1997. The station then went through a series of new call signs, starting with WODZ in 1999, WSPO in 2001, and WLYE in 2002. In 2004 Forever Broadcasting moved the calls and format of WNTJ to 850, where it had been operating as a simulcast of the news–talk programming on WNTW in Somerset, Pennsylvania. It has since moved back to 1490 kHz with Forever's divestiture of the 850 signal and subsequent LMA of the 1490 signal. The Birach Broadcasting Corp. now airs a simulcast of talk station WYUP in Loretto.
