In 1991, the station first signed on the air. Its original call sign was WOTT-FM. It was the sister station of WOTT 1410 AM (now WNER).

A classic hits format was launched on 100.7 on February 11, 2009. WEFX uses the frequency formerly occupied by WOTT, which moved to 94.1 in Calcium, New York, on February 9, 2009.

As a classic hits station, WEFX played music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. It used the slogan "Plays the music you grew up with."[2]
