Questa stazione radio è specializzata in musica Adult Contemporary, R&B, Jazz, Pop.

This radio station offers a 24/7 stream dedicated to yacht rock and yacht rock adjacent music. The programming focuses on smooth and sophisticated pop music that originated in Los Angeles between the late 1970s and mid-1980s. While often categorized as soft rock, its sound draws more heavily from R&B and jazz influences than folk or country. The station's library leans into the 'Yachtski Scale' but also explores deeper jazz and R&B territories, aiming to present music that respects the genre without strictly adhering to 'Certified Yacht Rock' definitions. A key program is 'The North West Coast,' broadcast live weekly and featuring algorithm-free selections of yacht rock and adjacent classics played on vinyl, alongside new smooth tracks and deep dives into artists and sidemen. This show, which began in late 2016, transitioned to online platforms in 2019 after its original broadcast ended. The station was established in its current form in the front room of its founder's home following pandemic-related disruptions to previous broadcast arrangements. The station also features listener-submitted bumpers.
