Programming

The station's slogan, "70s, 80s, and whatever we want" reflects their philosophy of programming. It is sometimes regarded as a classic rock station. It also broadcasts popular music from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and sometimes, the 2000s. For example, one can hear a song from AC/DC one minute, a song by Devo the next, and after that, a song from Nirvana.

The station operated as an oldies station until 2006. The switch was noted by a constant play of Jimmy Buffett songs.
