WYEC was also the radio affiliate for the now-defunct Quad City Flames American Hockey League (AHL) team from October 2007 to April 2009.
Upon KUUL's switch to a Top 40 format in February 2012, WYEC – then called "The New Oldies" – responded by adding a program devoted to music of the 1950s and 1960s on Fridays.
In addition to local programming, KYEC carried the syndicated Tom Kent Radio Network.
On August 30, 2016, WYEC announced plans to drop its oldies format and move to adult hits under the "Jack FM" brand.
The flip brings the "Planet" branding back to the market for the first time since 2000, when it aired on KORB (93.5 FM).
[8][9] The flip leaves KMCN as the sole adult hits station for the market, with KQCJ now primarily competing against WLLR-HD2/K283BV and KJOC (the former KORB), and to a lesser extent, KCQQ.
