A construction permit for WEEC was granted in March 1961 to Paul Pontus, Dwight Coffelt, and Rev. Glenn Greenwood. The station signed on the air on December 15, 1961;61 years ago. At first, it was a commercial radio station. However, all commercial programming was eliminated just one year later on December 15, 1962.

WEEC began broadcasting in HD Radio in September 2007. [2]

In 2007, WEEC merged with WFCJ under the banner "Strong Tower Christian Media." In 2012, Strong Tower announced that both stations would consolidate their operations into new facilities in Xenia, Ohio. [3]

In July 2019, WEEC dropped its Christian teaching programs, moving them exclusively to WFCJ (which rebranded as 93.7 The Light). After a 10,007-song marathon, WEEC flipped to contemporary worship music as Hope 100.7. [4] Shortly thereafter, WEEC added its fourth HD subchannel which airs most of the teaching programs it had previously carried on the main carrier.
