[3] WAUG radio is a daytime-only operation, leaving the air at sunset to prevent interference to 50,000-watt WSB in Atlanta, the Class A clear-channel station on 750 AM.

In October 2006, the station switched primarily to a talk radio format aimed at the Black community.

Shows includes the nationally syndicated News One Now with Roland Martin, Keepin' It Real with Al Sharpton and Biz Talk with Josh Smith.

The station also carried football games from the Washington Redskins as well as St. Augustine's University Sports including the CIAA Basketball Tournament.

[4] In October 2018, WAUG changed its format from talk to mainstream urban, branded as "Hot 97.9" to reflect its simulcast on FM translator W250AZ (97.9).
