WNTJ is an AM radio station belonging to Forever Broadcasting LLC in Altoona PA. Originally on the 1490kHz frequency under prior ownership, Forever moved the calls and format to 850AM. The WNTJ moniker originally stood for News Talk Johnstown, however the quality of programming diminished and as 850 is a nine-tower array the NTJ calls now are jokingly referred to as Nine Tower Junk.

The station was the first to sign on in Johnstown as WJAC at 1400 kHz, then moved to 850 kHz in the early 1940's.
