The station is located such that the broadcast at times reaches as far north as Pittsford, New York, to the Pennsylvania border to the south.

WDNY-FM is well known for its local service to the Genesee Valley, Western Finger Lakes, and Southern Tier areas of New York State.

Since the start of 2011, the news broadcasts have utilized more live quotes from local authorities and elected officials.

Each year the station hosts a live on-air auction, allowing callers to place bids over the radio.

On March 11, 2019, Hold Fast Media, Inc. owned by Don MacLeod took over the operations of WDNY and WDNY-FM.
