It carries syndicated shows from Adam Bomb on afternoons and Carson Daly on Sunday mornings.

FM 101.1 later had an album rock format in the late-1970s under the branding "The Wizzard", which at the time used the call sign WSRD.

The connection between the WHOT call sign and the Top 40/CHR format is one of the longest running in modern radio history, dating back to 1955.

That station was a daytime-only signal licensed to Campbell, Ohio, on 1570 kHz (currently home to the Warren, Ohio-licensed WHTX).

Excluding a period of several months when WHOT-FM carried an album rock format in late 1991-early 1992, the station has since continued playing Top 40 contemporary hits.
