The majority of its schedule consists of NPR national programming, and the BBC World Service. Local programs include the daily news/arts magazine "Current State", the daily sports talk/call-in "Current Sports" and the long-running Spanish-language "Ondas en Español" hosted by Tony "El Chayo" Cervantes on weekends. Since 2010, WKAR's programming has been simulcast on WKAR-FM's HD subcarrier. Originally on the FM station's second channel (HD2), it moved to a new third channel (HD3) in 2012. The NPR news and talk format continues on HD3 after the AM signoff. The subcarrier is used to feed a low-powered FM translator for non-HD listeners; originally at FM 94.5, it moved to FM 105.1 in March 2018. It is also streamed via the station's website. As a result, most of the Lansing area now has access to a locally focused NPR news station in one form or another. Before 2010, Michigan Radio flagship WUOM in Ann Arbor was the only source of 24-hour NPR news programming for Lansing; its signal easily covers most of the Lansing area. As of May 2018 WKAR-FM is no longer broadcasting in HD, but WKAR-AM programming continues 24/7 on 105.1 FM. Its 10,000-watt signal reaches as far east as Flint and Ann Arbor, and as far west as Grand Rapids.
