Programming

The station's music format included adult standards, jazz, beautiful music instrumentals, and easy listening during the day and oldies/classic hits overnight. The station also produced and broadcast diverse local programming ranging from talk shows to performances by regional artists.

In 2009, WLEZ began carrying New York Giants football in a commercial-free agreement with the Giants' main network. The Giants broadcasts included every pre-season and regular season game during the 2009–10 season, though only for terrestrial listeners.^{[citation needed]} In addition, the station broadcast football games of the Brandon High School "Bulldogs" over the air and on its internet feed from 2010 - 2019.
