WACK is the station where Lowell Paxson, later the founder of Home Shopping Network and PAX TV, began his broadcasting career.

Programming heard on WACK includes National Farm Report with Orion Samuelson, Farming America with Steve Alexander, America in the Morning, a classic hits-formatted local morning show hosted by Dean Amsler, The Osgood File, The Laura Ingraham Show, Chris Plante, The Dave Ramsey Show, The Sean Hannity Show, On the House with the Carey Brothers, and American Standards By the Sea. Any time slots not filled by programming are filled with SB Nation Radio.

The combination of Ingraham, Plante, Ramsey and Hannity forms what the station dubs the "Great American Talk Show Line-Up" (prior to Plante, The Radio Factor and subsequently Dennis Miller were also included in that branding). Samuelson's and Alexander's programs are considered to be one show, which is given its own full half-hour time slot under the title "WACK Farm and Agribusiness Report".

Sports programs heard on WACK include the Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees, Syracuse Orange and the NASCAR Sprint Cup, in addition to local high school sports.
