In the first hour, artists, educators, and students from CU Boulder, UC Santa Cruz, SUNY Buffalo, and the WGXC FM listening area come together to create a monthly live radio series using the platform “Mezcal” developed by August Black. Today's broadcast features Roberto Azaretto, Betsey Biggs, August, Black, Peter Courtemanche, Jeff Economy, Max Goldfarb, and Virgina Mantinian.

The WGXC Afternoon Show features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan."
