It simulcasts a Spanish-language contemporary hit radio format, including tropical music and reggaeton, with sister stations WWCO 1240 AM in Waterbury and WCUM 1450 AM in Bridgeport.

Because 840 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky, WRYM must reduce power at night to 250 watts and use a directional antenna to avoid interference.

Plains sold the radio station to the Beacon Broadcasting Company, controlled by Louis Sodokoff, the following year.

[1][8][9] In 1962, the station took its present WRYM call sign to reflect its conversion to a beautiful music format, the first in Connecticut.

By 1970, WRYM had flipped to a middle of the road (MOR) format, mixing adult popular music with local news and sports.

In February 2018, WRYM began simulcasting its programming on WWCO 1240 AM in Waterbury, which Trignition acquired from Connoisseur Media.
