History

The WCIB call letters stand for Cape and Islands Broadcasting, the original company that signed the station on in August 1970.

For several years, WCIB programmed a Top-40 format. But by late 1974, after losing the top-40 battle to WCOD, the station switched to an "Adult Gold" format

The station was later home to an Adult Contemporary format known as "Lite 102 WCIB", owned by Boston radio personality Larry Justice.

Legendary Radio personality Jim Connors was Vice President of Operations and AM Drive Host for WCIB.

The wildly popular local music show "The Cheap Seats" returned to the airwaves after several years on WKPE as of May 2009, and now resides at WCIB from 6-8pm every Sunday evening, hosted by original founder Cat.

W264BA 100.7 FM is Cool 102's new translator.
