History
WEEF began broadcasting in 1963 and originally aired a Middle of the road format. Until the mid 1970s, the station was simulcast on 103.1 WEEF-FM (later WVVX-FM). In July 1972, the station's adopted a Progressive rock format. In 1973, the station's callsign was changed to WVVX. Eventually brokered ethnic programming began to replace the progressive rock programming, and by the late 1970s it aired a full-time multicultural ethnic format. Along the way the station's callsign had been changed to WQVQ, before it was changed back to WEEF on February 12, 1979.
