The majority of the programming on KSPZ is ESPN Radio's nationally syndicated content including talk shows and professional/major college sporting events. However, there is plenty of local coverage including the Chukars, area highs schools, Boise State football, and BYU women's soccer.

John Balginy is the station manager and has broadcast Chukars games since 1985. Balginy is also the voice of Idaho Falls High School and Skyline High School (Idaho) on KSPZ. For 2020, Tyler Petersen will broadcast all Chukars games (home and road) for the station and will work alongside Balginy for all games at Melaleuca Field.
