Scholastic Quiz, a game show featuring local high school students, and Seniors Today (a public affairs program targeted to those 65 and older) would become mainstays of the station's programming and make host Ron Lorence (who would later build WADJ, now WBHV, at 1330 AM and then buy WYSN-FM 101.7, now WCCL in Somerset County) a local household name.

Then, in July 2012, this outlet became the first station in the market to broadcast local news in full high definition. WJAC provides news, weather and sports information for Johnstown, Altoona, State College and DuBois, Pennsylvania. This station then began to produce WWCP's nightly prime time show and reduced the program to 35 minutes on weeknights while remaining a half-hour on weekends. However, this is no longer an option after the digital conversion. Lindsay has been with the channel since April of 2019. All programming on WJAC-DT4 is received through The CW's programming feed for smaller media markets, The CW Plus, which provides a set schedule of syndicated programming acquired by The CW for broadcast during time periods outside of the network's regular programming hours; however, Sinclair handles local advertising and promotional services for the subchannel.
