106 WCOD was owned by Boch Broadcasting before moving to Quantum Communications in 2005. In 2009, CHR sister station WRZE became WEII, an all-sports station.

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WCOD-FM, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), in a transaction connected to Clear Channel's sale of WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York to Connoisseur Media via Quantum.[1] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
