WMRC changing formats

It appears that local radio station WMRC 1490 in Milford has shifted from an AC format to Classic Hits. The rest of the station seems the same though. When did this happen?
 
Don't know when but I think they got an FM translator or are trying to get one. Maybe classic hits is a sign they want a format--not that AC wouldn't necessarily sell, either--that may do well on FM

>> The owner of an AM station in in Milford, Mass., asked the FCC to consider the benefits of keeping an AM-only filing window for FM translators. Without such a window, there is no realistic way for the station to obtain a translator, said Thomas McAuliffe II, president of First Class Radio Corp., which owns WMRC(AM)... In his letter McAuliffe shared a list of public service causes WRMC has undertaken over the last five decades in its commitment to the community and its adherence to the FCC’s mandate to serve in the public’s interest. To continue to provide this level of service, the station needs an FM translator to deliver programming to a wider audience. “WMRC has proven again and again that it has a tremendous local following but WMRC could do so much more with a translator,” he said.
