On June 12 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., eight different amateur radio organizations will use four types of wireless communications technology representing five Hudson Valley counties at the Hudson Valley Radio Relay on Bannerman's Island in the Hudson River, and at other locations. WGXC's Tom Roe spoke with amateur radio enthusiast Steve Bossert and Bannerman Island's Neil Caplan about the event, and the island's history.

The 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 Wednesday show calls itself the "Drive-Time Show" and Sunday's is "Li Le, Le Tan."
