WYEC is a daytimer radio station licensed to Macomb, Illinois on 1510 kHz. It broadcasts a Talk format.
Because WYEC shares the same frequency as clear-channel station WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee, WYEC broadcasts only during the daytime.
For a time, the then-WLRB was running a Music of Your Life radio network, but Jones Radio Networks divested it in favor of its own Jones Standards format. As Dial Global acquired Jones, the "Jones Standards" network was dissolved and "America's Best Music" took its place. WLRB later switched to talk programming.
WLRB was owned by Prairie Radio Communications/WPW Broadcasting, Inc. until January 2009, when was bought by Nancy Foster's Colchester Radio, Inc. to become part of Prestige Communications.
Effective November 30, 2015, WLRB and five sister stations were sold to Fletcher Ford's Virden Broadcasting Corp. at a purchase price of $725,000.
The station changed its call sign to the current WYEC on August 31, 2016.
