It broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format, but for much of November and December, it switches to Christmas music.
Immediately after announcing the switch, 99.5 The Ticket became the B-N affiliate for the Chicago Cubs, taking over from WJEZ.
WZIM was also the Bloomington-Normal affiliate for the Chicago White Sox, although the station gave first priority to the Cubs.
On November 13, 2013, at 10 am, WZIM dropped its sports format and began stunting with automated classic rock songs.
and began promoting itself as the new home in Bloomington and Lexington for the syndicated John Tesh radio show in the morning.
Joe has made several changes to the station, including freshing up the format to lean more towards Hot AC while still featuring 80's music with "Awesome 80's double plays" and adding "Throwback Thursday".
