The station is owned by Lakes Media, LLC and runs local programming with national news and weather.
At one time, WASR was an adult standards station, carrying Citadel Media's Timeless service.
On February 24, 2020 new station manager Eric Scott changed the format to variety hits with some local talk including a live call in show at noon, a local sports show on Friday afternoons, and a live Catholic Mass Sunday mornings.
WASR also carries the WTPL-produced talk show Good Morning New Hampshire, hosted by Jack Heath.
Russ was the consistent voice of imaging, commercials, promos and features always with a local "Lakes Region" focus.
