Programming

WAUC's 24-hour programming lineup consists of both classic and modern country music, from artists such as Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Kenny Rogers, and Charley Pride.

The station also broadcasts its original live shows Racing Country Roundup, locally-hosted request show Glenn The Outlaw, QuickTime Dirt Radio, and the Elvis Presley talk show Elvis Forever, alongside nationally syndicated shows such as The Sam Alex Show, The Bob and Sheri Show, The Crook & Chase Top 40 Countdown, and Retro Country USA.

Promotions

Starting in 2017, the station helped to strengthen a campaign to revitalize the annual Pioneer Park days events that drew income to the local Hardee County and Heartland Florida areas. WAUC now remotely broadcasts at various community events throughout the Heartland.

WAUC are the call letters used for the local television station depicted in the Academy Award-winning film Rocky. Real-life news anchor/reporter Diana Lewis interviews lead character Rocky Balboa in a refrigerated meat locker operated by the fictitious Shamrock Meats Inc.[1]
