The 105.5 MHz frequency used by WWEI was originally allocated to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where it signed on in October 1967[2] as WQRB-FM.

[7] Vox then put the station up for sale, and after an unsuccessful attempt to sell it to Pamal Broadcasting,[8] it was sold to Entercom (forerunner to Audacy, Inc.) in 2006.

[9] WBEC-FM signed off from Pittsfield that May,[10] with the format and call letters moving to 95.9 FM (a former frequency of WUPE-FM) at that time.

During the 2020 United States Presidential Election, the station's signal received interference from a pirate radio station on the same frequency in Warren, looping a recording of a whispering voice that said "Don't be a chump, vote for Trump."
