Its previous sports format had a lineup from a variety of sources: The Dan Patrick Show from Fox Sports Radio and The Jim Rome Show from CBS Sports Radio, with the remainder of their non-local programming coming from CBS Sports Radio. The station offers local programming during the weekdays with Pure Sports with Geoff "The Dome" Bloom, which airs from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST, featuring co-host Barry Long.
