A 2003 article, in Harper's magazine, cited WDEV as one of the best examples of independent radio broadcasting in the United States.

On October 1, 2017, Squier turned the station over to Steve Cormier, who served as Radio Vermont's sales manager.

[10] Mermel displaced Cormier as WDEV's manager in March 2024, forcing Cormier and a total of 7 other unnamed WDEV staffers out of their jobs; at the time, the sale to Mermel, McLain and Milne was being held up due to a flaw in the succession process that led to the wrong trustee, Glen Wright, inheriting the station and could not take place until Squier-Crouch was the controlling trustee, a process that was ongoing at the time.

Early afternoons include “Equal Time Radio” with Traven and “The Vermont Conversation” with David Goodman.

Vermont broadcasting veteran Joel Najman hosts “The Great American Music Hall” on weekend middays.

On Tuesday afternoons, Ken Squier is joined by Jasper Goodman, who goes on to talk about local, regional, and national sports, including the Red Sox during the MLB season.

The station also broadcasts Norwich University men's ice hockey and select Vermont high school basketball and football games.

WDEV also airs auto racing from Thunder Road International SpeedBowl in Barre, Vermont, when there is no other programming conflict.

Appropriately given its long ownership by Ken Squier, WDEV also airs NASCAR Cup Series events when there is no conflict.

It consists of odd songs, jokes the readers send in, banter between Donovan and Farmer Dave, and running gags involving cows.

[14] In November 2020, Squier—who had hosted the show since the 1960s[14]—was diagnosed with a severe case of COVID-19, forcing him into retirement; he only made sporadic appearances after his recovery.
