In January 2008, Alabama Broadcasting Company, Inc. reached an agreement to transfer control of WFEB to Powers Broadcasting Company, Inc.[4] The FCC approved the deal on February 12, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on March 18, 2008.[4]

The station is now WFEB-B101 Sylacauga's Best HITS & All Time Favorites.[5] The purchase was consummated on December 20, 2018, at a price of $150,000.
On September 2, 2024, WFEB changed their format from adult contemporary to classic rock, branded as "100.9 The Mountain".[6]
