It was the first RTÉ digital radio station to have carried live content, with music from the Oxegen festival in July 2007, and the Electric Picnic and PlanetLove Summer Session festivals in September 2007, as well as the PlanetLove Winter Session in February 2008.

Over the years, the station has featured regular programming from RTÉ staff and freelance presenters drawn from Ireland's music communities and industry, as well as internationally-syndicated content.
