Programming
WLOY follows a general rock music radio format, playing contemporary, alternative, and classic rock. Music selection trends from lighter in the morning towards heavier in the evening and overnight. On-air staff, comprised almost exclusively of students, are given latitude to select songs within this radio format.
Specialty shows include world music, community voices, old time radio shows, a financial information show hosted by Dena Frenkel, CPRC, featuring discussions with guests on matters of financial planning and others. Additional community-focused shows such as "What Happens Next?" and "Both Feet In:A Conversations with People Experiencing Homelessness" have garnered national awards and recognition for their innovation. A former specialty show, Shut Up, I'm on the Radio, was awarded "Best Local Music Radio Show" in 2006 by the Baltimore City Paper. The station also frequently broadcasts live coverage of Loyola Greyhounds NCAA Division I sporting events. The station was a finalist for Best Radio Promotion at the National Student Production Awards in 2009. The station won the Fr. Timothy Brown, S.J. Club of the Year award for 2009-2010 as a result of campus and community efforts including raising over $22,000 for earthquake relief in Haiti. The station was selected to the Top 25 College Radio Stations in the 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards, one of only 3 stations selected without a broadcast license. WLOY was selected in 2012 to the Top 10 College Radio Stations at the mtvU Woodie Awards.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
