WTNA

WTNA (1430 AM) is a radio station licensed to Altoona, Pennsylvania. The station airs a classic hits format and is branded as "WOWY 99.7". The station is owned by Seven Mountains Media, through licensee Southern Belle Media Family, LLC.

WTNA is the Altoona affiliate of Penn State Sports including Football, Hockey, and Men's Basketball

On January 2, 2013, the station dropped the Jim Rome Show and replaced it with The Herd with Colin Cowherd.

Originally WVAM, it became a CBS affiliate when it went on the air on December 15, 1947. At that time, it operated on 1430 kHz with 1,000 watts power.

On February 6, 2019, WVAM changed its format from sports to oldies, branded as "Toona 1430". On March 15, 2019, the station changed its call sign to WTNA.

In November 2020, the station launched a 250-watt translator on 99.7 to serve the Altoona area. With the launch of the translator, the branding was adjusted to "Toona 1430 & 99.7".

It was announced on October 12, 2022 that Forever Media was selling 34 stations, including WTNA and the entire Altoona cluster, to State College-based Seven Mountains Media for $17.375 million. The deal closed on January 1, 2023.

On March 23, 2023, WTNA changed its format from oldies to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted WOWY 103.1 FM State College.
