![](../I/m/WEEC_100.7FM_logo.png)
WEEC was formed in March 1961 by Paul Pontus, Dwight Coffelt, and Rev. Glenn Greenwood and first hit the airwaves on December 15 later that same year at first as a commercial station. However, all commercial programming was eliminated just one year later on December 15, 1962.
WEEC began broadcasting in HD Radio in September 2007.[1]
In 2007, WEEC merged with WFCJ under the banner Strong Tower Christian Media. In 2012, it was announced that both stations would consolidate their operations into new facilities in Xenia, Ohio.[2]
In July 2019, WEEC dropped its Christian teaching programs, moving them exclusively to WFCJ (which rebranded as The Light 93.7). After a 10,007-song marathon, WEEC flipped to contemporary worship music as Hope 100.7.[3]
