In late 2003, whenClear Channel Broadcasting lost control of the station, WCTB began tostunt withChristmas music (as they had done every year fromThanksgiving toChristmas). In January 2004, the station began airing an eclectic mix of music, finally ending up with aclassic hits format in April 2004.

With another ownership change in November 2004, WCTB changed to Christmas music again and after Christmas adopted aclassic rock format that it kept until December 2010.

On December 27, 2018, WCTB changed its format fromoldies toclassic country, branded as "Cruisin' Country 93.5".[2] On March 22, 2022, WCTB changed its branding to "True Country 93.5".[3]

In November 2024,WGUY inVeazie (nearBangor), which had been an oldies station, began simulcasting WCTB under atime brokerage agreement.[4]
