Altoona, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2000. Sauber's father, Robert Sauber, had founded WFRA and WTIV, both AM stations in Franklin and Titusville, respectively, and WFRA-FM in Franklin. Tom Sauber also owned an FM station of his own in Cambridge Springs, which also was sold to Forever Broadcasting in a separate transaction. WOYL under Forever Following its acquisition by Forever Broadcasting, WOYL was established as an affiliate of Forever's newly formed Allegheny News Talk Sports Network, which programs a mixture of local and syndicated talk, along with the Pittsburgh pro sports franchises of the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins. The network was set up as a "quadcast", that is, a simultaneous rebroadcast of the same programming over four radio stations, that included WOYL. The others are: WFRA Franklin WMGW Meadville (flagship station) WTIV Titusville The four radio stations do however, break down their morning programming into a two-station simulcast, with WFRA and WOYL airing program matter exclusive to Venango County, while WTIV and WMGW air programming more exclusive to Crawford County. WFRA and WOYL air their live morning show from studios at 1411 Liberty Street in Franklin, the longtime home of WFRA. A satellite sales office also operates from this location. Following the morning show, the quadcast among the four stations resumes. WOYL's longtime general manager under Fidelity ownership, Sam Gordon (who had been with the station since the WKRZ days), left the station after its sale to join competing station WKQW/WKQW-FM, where he works as an advertising sales representative. Demise WOYL has been silent since December 27, 2009; according to the FCC's website. WOYL has been removed from the Allegheny News Talk Sports Network's Facebook page, though its logo remains on the network's master website. It requested special temporary authority to remain silent through June 2010, but instead of requesting an extension of this authority following its expiration, Forever opted to return the license to the FCC, which canceled it on August 18. The other three stations in the Allegheny News Talk Network remain in operation.
