more contemporary version of its AC Mainstream Plus blend. With this shift, the station cancelled 'The '80s Lunch' program and 'Sunday at the '70s.' 'Solid Gold Saturday Night' was replaced by 'The Saturday Night Show', a program featuring music from the 1970s to present. Scott Turnbull remains as host. The station also adopted a new logo as well as the positioning statement 'Today's Best Music.' Since the playlist update in July 2011, CHAS now more closely resembles an Adult Top 40 station than mainstream AC, even to the point of playing a limited amount of pop-friendly hip-hop. Current and recurrent CHR hits make up the bulk of the music the station plays; virtually all music from before 1995 has been dropped, and the station no longer plays such traditional AC artists as Celine Dion, Elton John or Rod Stewart. CHAS, as noted above, was one of four EZ Rock-branded stations owned and operated by Rogers Media, all of which are located in Northern Ontario (the others are located in Timmins, North Bay, and Sudbury). With the June 2013 acquisition by Bell Media Radio of Astral Media, which owned the "EZ Rock" trademark in Canada, Rogers would seek new branding for all 4 of its EZ Rock stations; on August 29, 2013, CHAS and its "EZ Rock" siblings all adopted the "Kiss" branding, with no other discernible on-air changes.
