In 1995, Westinghouse Electric announced its purchase of CBS.
Upon its completion KYW became a sister station to its long-time rival, CBS-owned AM 1210 WGMP, for decades known as WCAU Radio, now WPHT.
That station, under its original WCAU call letters, had attempted during the late 1970s to compete with KYW with all-news programming.
The effort failed, with WCAU switching to a talk format after a three-year effort.

From 1986 to 1998, KYW used the C-QUAM AM Stereo system, but abandoned stereo broadcasts about the time of the CBS-Westinghouse merger and went back to standard monophonic broadcasts.
The station has been using the HD Radio digital system created by iBiquity since 2007 after an initial testing period.

In March 2007, the studios moved one half-block to 400 Market Street in Center City Philadelphia, which allowed for the construction of the National Museum of American Jewish History.
In March 2014, 1060 KYW relocated to 1555 Hamilton Street in Philadelphia, joining KYW-TV on the 6th floor.
This is referred to on-air as the "CBS Broadcast Center."

In November 2017, CBS Radio merged with Entercom, which is based in suburban Bala Cynwyd.
Entercom had never previously owned a station in its home market.
The transaction separated KYW from its television counterparts, and marked the first time since its establishment that KYW has not been owned by a direct descendant of Westinghouse.

KYW radio ended its longtime partnership with KYW-TV on February 10, 2020, and began broadcasting traffic, news, and weather information from WCAU (channel 10).
The change coincided with KYW radio's move from the CBS Broadcast Center (which continues to house KYW-TV) to 2400 Market Street, along with Entercom's other Philadelphia radio stations and its corporate headquarters.
