The station first signed on under the KBMS call letters in 1976 but changed its call letters to KIDX in August 1978. The station first aired an adult contemporary format and remained as an AC station for over 15 years. During its early years, it was originally affiliated with NBC's The Source network until 1987. KIDX dropped its longtime adult contemporary format in 1994 for its current country format. The station adopted the old KOOK-FM call letters for a short time in early 1998 but returned back to its KIDX call letters a short time later. It became KGHL-FM in 1999 and its current KWEF call letters in 2011.
