A news release posted on CN2′s website reveals that Comporium sold CN2 to OTS Media Group, which owns WRHI and other radio stations.

OTS Media said that instead of a daily local newscast, it will air a live multi-interview program. Some WRHI radio programs will now be broadcast live on CN2 as well.

Channel 9 has partnered with both CN2 and WRHI for news coverage throughout the years.
