According to host Ken McPherson, "Hibernia Beach began because of a fight between GLAAD and the station..."cite newsgroup | title=GAY 105?!? | author=Ken McPherson | date=1998-04-02 | newsgroup=ba.broadcast | id = 3523f62e.234481@enews.newsguy.com | url=http://groups.google.com/group/ba.broadcast/msg/e5a052ee32c989e3 | accessdate = 2007-11-22 ]

While it ran, the program was billed as "the longest-running gay-hosted show on commercial radio",cite web |url=http://www.hiberniabeach.com/hbl/show.shtml |title=About the Show | accessdate=2007-11-21 | publisher=Hibernia Beach LIVE | archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20000304070521/www.hiberniabeach.com/hbl/show.html | archivedate=2000-03-04 ] and had an audience of over 40,000 listeners as of 1998. It was broadcast weekly from 11:00 p.m. on Sundays until 2:00 a.m. on Monday mornings;cite web |url=http://www.live105.com/html/programs.html |title=The What?

On-air hosts included Ken McPherson (jokingly referred to on air as "America's favorite homosexual"), Geraldine Barr, Renée Rotten, and Ben Carlson. The show was initially formatted as a gay and lesbian public affairs program, but later changed to be inclusive of a broader audience;cite news |first=Todd |last=Savage |title=Radio active - there are some 80 gay-oriented radio shows, such as LesBiGay, in the US |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1589/is_1999_Sept_14/ai_55927493 |work=The Advocate |id=ISSN|0001-8996 |date=1999-09-14|accessdate=2007-11-22] topics included queer issues, politics, music, relationships, and sexuality.

In 1996, the rock band Pansy Division recorded "Hibernia Beach," a new 40-second opening theme song for the program.cite web |url=http://www.pansydivision.com/Audio/pd_audio.html |title=Pansy Division: Audio |accessdate=2007-11-22 |author=Pansy Division |work=PansyDivision.com] cite video |people=Pansy Division |title=Hibernia Beach |url=http://www.pansydivision.com/Audio/hiberniabeach.mp3 |format=MP3 |accessdate=2007-11-22]
