WJTN (1240 AM) is a radio station licensed to Jamestown, New York. The mostly oldies music outlet is owned by Media One Group. On December 31, 1924, the station signed on, making the station the oldest in southwestern New York and fourth-longest lived in all of Western New York-- behind only WGR, WBEN and WDCZ.
Local programs on WJTN include Dennis Webster's weekday morning show and a conservative talk show hosted by John Siggins on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The station also airs a full half-hour news report in the noon hour, as well as coverage of local sporting events. Syndicated programming heard on WJTN includes Doug Stephan (on tape delay Tuesdays and Thursdays), Jim Bohannon, and Coast to Coast AM. On weekends, the station plays locally originated brokered programming, The Twilight Zone, a quizbowl ("High School Bowl") and music. In addition to its locally produced high school sports coverage, WJTN carries the Buffalo Bills and NFL on Westwood One. WJTN is also an affiliate of ABC News.
Previous programming on WJTN has historically included The Hall Closet (a liberal talk radio program hosted by the now-deceased Ray Hall) and its short-lived successor The Nancy Bargar Show, The Sean Hannity Show (now at WLKW-FM), The Dave Ramsey Show, Paul Harvey, ESPN Radio, and Fox Sports Radio.
