the same ownership as WZMX, which offered a "bright adult contemporary" format. Ahead of the sale, DeDominicis relocated to South Carolina to oversee his two radio stations there, which he had acquired in 1989. Westinghouse Electric Corporation, then-parent company of CBS Radio, announced its acquisition of ARS in September 1997, a deal completed in June 1998. By this time, the company's holdings in the market, in addition to WRCH and WZMX, included WTIC (AM) and WTIC-FM; WNEZ had been sold to Mega Broadcasting in 1996. WRCH continued its soft AC format, although picking up the tempo a bit into the 2000s, shifting to mainstream adult contemporary music. On February 2, 2017, CBS Radio announced it would merge with Entercom. The merger was approved on November 9, 2017, and was consummated on the 17th. The only noticeable effect from the merger for listeners was the switch of Boston sports stations on WRCH's HD3 subchannel, as the simulcast changed from the now-Beasley-owned WBZ-FM to Entercom-owned WEEI-FM.
