Prior to January 2, 2006, the station was dubbed "98.3 The Rose" and had an Adult Contemporary format. Currently, the station uses the slogan "Big Hits" with a playlist that includes new wave, pop, rock, and dance hits. Songs from the 1970s through the 2000s are included. Current on air personalities include co-sidekicks Eric Michaels and Mike Lee. The rest of the schedule is largely automated, as is typical of most adult hits stations.
