Live programmes run from early morning to late evenings on weekdays, starting at a later time of 9 am on weekends.

[1] The majority of programming during the day takes a CHR format, playing music from the station's weekly playlists.

In the evenings, specialist programming covers a wide range of genres including Asian, Blues, Electronic, Hip hop, Rock and classic pop.

[3] The station initially operated from a studio in a spare room in Royal Holloway's historic Founder's Building, with cabling running to a mast on the roof.

Matt Deegan and Richard Clarke started making lists of rooms in the university that they felt were acceptable to base the radio station.

In September 2000, the station was granted a Long-term Restricted Services Licence to broadcast on low-power AM (LPAM) all year round on 1287 kHz.

In 2015, Insanity moved to purpose built Media Suite on the top floor of Royal Holloway's Students' Union building, a self-contained complex consisting of three studios and an office.
