The only commercial smooth jazz radio station in the Northeastern United States, WEIB is owned by Cutting Edge Broadcasting, Inc., and maintains studios on King Drive in Northampton.

The first application for the frequency was filed on December 16, 1983, by a company controlled by Boston radio DJ Kenneth Carberry (known on air as Ken Carter).

Three other applications were made, including one in 1984 by Carol Moore Cutting (then under the name of Cutter Broadcasting), and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated the set for comparative hearing in April 1986.
