WEEX 1230 was only powered at 250 watts at the time and served listeners who only had an AM radio and could not receive WEEX-FM.

The FM station switched to Beautiful Music under the WQQQ call sign.

Those call letters were chosen because the lower-case Q closely resembled the number 9, representing the station's frequency of 99.9 MHz.

In late 1982, longtime station owner Easton Publishing acquired The Globe Times, a newspaper in nearby Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

To satisfy FCC media ownership rules, both WEEX and WQQQ were sold off to Wilks-Schwartz Broadcasting.

The call letters became WODE-FM and the station became known as "Oldies 99" under programing consultant Pete Salant.

[6] In 1997, Capstar acquired WODE and WEEX, but spun the stations off to Clear Channel Communications, the forerunner to today's iHeartMedia, Inc. Capstar had to do this because the Lehigh Valley has only five FM stations and no one company can own more than half.

[9] WEEX, along with nine other Nassau stations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania (including WTKZ), was purchased at bankruptcy auction by NB Broadcasting in May 2012.

[10][11] In November 2012, Nassau Broadcasting filed a motion to transfer ownership of the stations to Connoisseur Media.

Cumulus sold WTKZ to Major Keystone on September 24, 2021, splitting it from WEEX.
