WKGE (850 AM) is a radio station licensed to Johnstown, Pennsylvania and broadcasting with 10 kW day and night. Owned by Edward A. Schober through licensee Zip2, LLC, the station currently airs an Adult Hits format as "101.3 107.1 Jack FM", as part of a simulcast with WYUP 1400 AM in Loretto. WKGE currently uses a complex directional antenna array to protect other stations on 850 kHz. It had a Construction Permit (CP) to move to 870 kHz and become a daytime-only Class D station. This included a power cut to 7 kW, and a reduction from a 9-tower to a simpler 3-tower array, utilizing one eastern, one central and one western tower of the original 9-tower array. History WKGE was first licensed on March 11, 1925, with the sequentially assigned call letters of WHBP, to the Johnstown Automobile Company at 101 Main Street, broadcasting with 10 watts on 1170 kHz. On June 15, 1927 the station was assigned to 1310 kHz. On November 11, 1928, as part of the implementation of the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, WFBG in Altoona was also assigned to 1310 kHz, and the two stations had to work out a timesharing agreement. In mid-1929 the call letters were changed to WJAC, which would be used for 70 years. On July 14, 1939 WJAC moved to 1370 kHz, which allowed it to resume unlimited hours of operation. In March 1941, under the provisions of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, most stations on 1370 kHz, including WJAC, were reassigned to 1400 kHz. In 1957, WJAC applied to move to 850 kHz and increase power from 500 to 10,000 watts. At the same time Saint Francis College (now Saint Francis University) in Johnstown applied to build a new station on 1400 kHz once that frequency was vacated. WJAC's move to 850 kHz, and the establishment of the new Saint Francis station, WWSF (now WYUP), was completed in 1963. However, in contrast to the single tower non-directional antenna used on 1400 kHz, operation on 850 kHz required constructing a large and complicated nine-tower directional array, sited on in Paint Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. WJAC and sister FM station WKYE were under common ownership with WJAC-TV until 1984, when both radio stations were spun off to Winston Radio, Inc. Because all three stations were owned by shareholders in the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat, the city's daily newspaper, the radio
