Jones shuts off WJET’s analog signal

It was 43 years ago when WJET Radio owner Myron Jones would flip the switch and put WJET TV 24 on the air. The same man who first put WJET on the air in 1966 would be the same man to shut off the station on April 17th, 2009. Myron did just that at 11:35pm with mixed emotions. Of course that is understandable after all of the heart & soul he used in order to add a 3rd TV station to the Erie market. Over the time both he and the late John Kanzius ran Jet TV, the station would become the number one station in the market and become very involved in the Erie community. Kudos to Nexstar Broadcasting for this very classy move.
