One of the oldest FM signals on Cape Cod, WCOD was owned by Boch Broadcasting before moving to Qantum 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 Qantum. [2] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
