Formerly during Christmas time, KEEY-HD2 carried KQQL's classic hits format when that co-owned station switched to all Christmas music. In November 2018, KEEY-FM launched an HD3 sub-channel carrying a soft adult contemporary format known as "The Breeze", as well as relaunching and rebranding KEEY-FM HD2 as "The Wolf 102.1 HD2". In May 2019, KEEY-HD2 reverted to its previous "K102 New" branding. Competitor country station KMNB now calls itself "102.9 The Wolf." In August 2019, KEEY-FM HD2's Country music format was replaced with Christian Contemporary music from iHeart's "UP!" network. As of April 2021, the "Breeze" programming that was airing on KEEY-HD3 moved to the HD2 sub-channel. The HD3 sub-channel was then flipped to a simulcast of Hmong language WIXK, and became the new relay for FM translator K294AM (106.7 MHz, licensed to West St. Paul).
