American Radio Systems Corporation was a United States radio company that existed from 1993 until 1998. Its predecessor, Atlantic Ventures, was founded by Steven B. Dodge, Eric Schultz, Joseph Winn and Michael Milsom, and owned four Boston radio stations including WRKO and WEEI. The company was formed on 1 November 1993 by merging Atlantic Ventures with Multi Market Communications and Stoner Broadcasting System Holding. In August 1995 it announced plans to buy the Hartford stations WTIC-AM and WTIC-FM for 42 million dollars. In June 1998 it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Westinghouse under a merger in which shareholders received 44 dollars a share plus one share of American Tower common stock, at a then-record enterprise price of over 2.6 billion dollars.
