The station will also broadcast 102 hours of live-to-air programming each week. The station will broadcast 11 hours of spoken word programming, which will include regularly scheduled news, sports and weather reports, as well as information such as road conditions, traffic reports, and fishing directions and tips. On Sundays, the station will broadcast five-minute programs that provide an opportunity for persons of other faiths to offer different points of view. The applicant indicated that at least 80% of all the musical selections broadcast in each broadcast week will be drawn from subcategory 35 (Non-classic religious), as defined in Public Notice 2000-14.
