'''Pamal Broadcasting, Ltd.''' is a family-owned [[radio]] ownership with stations in medium-to-small markets in the [[Northeastern United States|Northeast]], [[Florida]], and [[Louisiana]]. Based in the [[Albany, New York|Albany]] suburb of [[Latham, New York]], Pamal Broadcasting was founded in [[1986]] as Albany Broadcasting when car dealership owner and philanthropist James J. Morrell entered broadcast ownership with the purchase of [[WFLY]] and [[WDCD|WPTR]]. The Pamal name, a [[portmanteau]] of the names of Morrell's daughter '''Pam''' and son '''Al''', was adopted in [[1999]] though the flagship Albany cluster retains the Albany Broadcasting name on-air.
