WOSN derived some of its programming from Westwood One's America's Best Music satellite service. Jeff Rollins, who had been with America's Best Music, hosted a local morning show from 6 a.m. to noon. Weekend programming included Herb Oscar Anderson, formerly of WABC in New York City, Saturdays at 7 p.m.
In early 2017 WOSN drifted towards its current format from an adult standards format.[1] Current on-air personalities include Hamp Elliott, Jim Davis, Rick Lane, Juan O'Reilly, and Bill Dake (host of Smooth Jazz Brunch).[2]
