The format over time has gravitated towards a Modern AC-leaning presentation with lighter songs from the 70s through the 90s interspersed with upbeat tracks from more contemporary alternative artists.
On April 2, 2018, WWMN changed its format from adult album alternative to a simulcast of news/talk-formatted WJML 1110 AM Petoskey/WJNL 1210 AM Kingsley. [1]
On November 7, 2019, WWMN changed its format from news/talk to adult contemporary, branded as "94.5 & 106.3 North FM". [2]
