Sundays offer varied specialty programs, including blues, techno, classical, the Grateful Dead, and Susquehanna University's church service.
When the station is not programming live from its studios, it rebroadcasts WVIA-FM programming, which includes classical music and some National Public Radio shows including Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Car Talk, as well as A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media.
