WWGE says tower isn't taxable

Johnstown-Altoona-State College: According to Tom Taylor, Johnstown's WWGE (850) says the tower shouldn't be taxable. The Tribune-Democrat reported that the tower site was "put in taxation" several years ago by Allegheny Township. The tower has been on its site since 1963 and Cambria Radiowerks has owned the station for nearly 10 years. The station's attorney says the tower "is like a tool of the trade" and should be tax-exempt. 2007 taxes were paid under protest, but there are unpaid taxes of about $7000.
