In the late 1960s, in response to Top 40 WHVW, the station would feature rock & roll tunes in Ralph Aregale's afternoon show.

It simulcast WEOK during the day and had a series of block programing at night including classical, jazz, show tunes and folk music hosted by Raphael.

WEOK's oldies format and some of the air staff (including Rick McCaffery) informally migrated to WCZX.

The aging demographics of pop standards by the late 1990s, led WEOK owner Crystal Radio Group (the spun off Dyson family unit) to explore changing its format.

Complaints that programming leaned too much towards one area or another, plus the high numbers of WABC from New York City, doomed this format.

On August 28, 2000, WEOK and WALL flipped to ESPN Radio as its primary format as 1340/1390 ESPN Radio though Larry Hughes would remain for nearly another year, and a brokered financial information show which dated back to the standards format would continue to air.

In September 2002, WEOK/WALL flipped to El Ritmo ("The Rhythm"), a Spanish contemporary format Program Director Nick Robbins and the first of its sort in upstate New York.

Nevertheless, the hit-or-miss nature of El Ritmo's audience, concentrated in the cities of the area, led to the station getting little, if any, ratings and being a hard sell towards advertisers given that the overall Hispanic market share of the Hudson Valley is minuscule at best.

After almost five years as Radio Disney, WEOK and WALL changed formats in February 2010, to The True Oldies Channel.

Jay Reynolds (currently of ESPN Radio) was former anchor of WEOK's 5 O'Clock News Mike Breen, voice of the NY Knicks, also worked as a local newsman Mark Mahoney, 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner, editorial writing.
