At the time it was a country music formatted station, changing to sports talk in the mid 1990s. Currently it airs ESPN Radio, and local sports. It was also affilaited for a time with Sporting News Radio, then known as "One on One Sports". For a time in the late 1990s it was simulcasted on co-owned WHQO (now WFMX).
