==History==
===1992-1993: KESC===
This was a temporary set of call letters.<ref name="History">[http://kcradio.tripod.com/993.html KWIC History]</ref>

===1993–1996: KWIC - ''Quick 99.3''===
The KWIC call letters were first assigned June 30, 1993. The station went on the air in April 1994.<ref name="History"/>

===1996-1999: KWIC - ''Hot 99.3''===
This was fed from ABC's Platinum Gold service.<ref name="History"/>

===1999-2004: KWIC - ''Oldies 99.3''===
Cumulus swapped formats between 99.3 and 102.9. KWIC picked up the satellite oldies format, although they added local hosts for morning drive and middays. 102.9 picked up a locally based Top 40 format. But the oldies on 99.3 was faring much better.<ref name="History"/>

===2004-present: KWIC - ''99.3 the Eagle''===
Soon after a local country station received a new owner, we got this suspicious format change from Cumulus, which cut into two of their other stations, KDVV and KMAJ-FM. I suspected at the time the owner of that country station had designs on a format change of their own to cut in to KDVV or KMAJ. KWIC has rated in the middle-to-upper part of the ratings for most of its span.<ref name="History"/>
