WSJY airs an adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December.

[5] In the 1970s, WFAW-FM switched to automated beautiful music, playing quarter hour sweeps of soft instrumental cover versions of popular adult hits, with some Broadway and Hollywood show tunes.

[6] WSJY had an easy listening format, with the "JY" in the call sign referring to the station's moniker, "Joy 107".

It eventually transitioned to a soft adult contemporary sound, largely eliminating the instrumentals.

By the late 2000s, WSJY's rotation had come to encompass a variety of mainstream adult contemporary and soft rock popular music, including artists such as Mariah Carey, The Eagles, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, Martina McBride, Elton John, Madonna, and Rob Thomas.
