On-air Staff and Programs
For a brief time, former KDKA and WJAS personality Jack Wheeler hosted the morning show on 620 KHB. Wheeler left the station at the end of 2003, moving back to Florida. Morning host and station manager Barry Banker celebrated 40 years with the station in 2006, and was joined in the morning by veteran Bill DeFabio and his daily sports updates until Banker's retirement. Banker was replaced in morning drive by veteran Bill Korch from nearby WEDO.
Caleb Michaels (a nom de air for the station's owner) and Michael J. Daniels appeared at irregular times, usually at night doing the oldies format or filling time between paid programs. Ingram hosted a regular Saturday-afternoon oldies show, often counting down the biggest songs from the same day in a previous year. With the debut of sister FM station WKVE in May 2010, these shows all but disappeared. Automated oldies are now heard evenings and overnights.
Regular non-music programs include "Health Breakthroughs" with Dr. James Winer, "Alternatives to Medicine" with Dr. Martin Gallagher, and the daily Scriptural Rosary, which has now aired on Pittsburgh radio for over 35 years. There is an extended lineup of polka shows on Saturday, and midday Sunday, with a schedule of local religious programs on Sunday morning and afternoon.

Famous quotes containing the words staff and/or programs:
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
