Forever Broadcasting Inc. wants the Federal Communications Commission to approve its purchase of Cool 101.7.
Cool, an oldies station, is being put on the market by owner Nick Galli, a Pittsburgh lawyer.
Galli did not return a call for comment Wednesday.
Carol Logan, president of Hollidaysburg-based Forever, said her company came to Johnstown in 1998 and has created jobs.
“We’ve done much to improve the quality of Johnstown radio,” she said.
Terry Deitz, general manager of Forever’s Johnstown stations, said a takeover of 101.7 would provide the company with an opportunity to provide higher-quality commercials.
Forever currently owns FM stations 96 Key, Rocky 99, Froggy 95, Hot 92 and AM news talk stations WNTJ 1490/WNTW 990.
If the FCC agrees to the Cool sale, the Johnstown market would have two stations that aren’t owned by Forever Broadcasting: The Edge at 850 AM, a talk station; and WCRO, 1230 AM, offering “The music of your life.”
Logan said she doesn’t anticipate any changes in Cool’s oldies format if the acquisition is completed.

Five steps to ward off business fraud
Business fraud is everywhere. It can range from employees pilfering small items from the office to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars. And crimes may be committed by anyone from the lowest-paid clerk to a longtime officer. All too often, business owners are oblivious to wrongdoings, or they simply refuse to acknowledge the possibilities – until it’s too late.

MICHAEL MacDOWELL | GM makes it big second time around
In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well. Of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government – and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government – has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.
