WVCY's playlist focuses on vocal and instrumental traditional Christian music. It completely disallows Christian contemporary music in any form, to the point that outside programs are dropped if they play it. On Saturday mornings, WVCY airs children's programming, including Kids Talk with Uncle Aaron and Aunt Amber and Ranger Bill. The station also carries political debates from the state's public television networks, along with major speeches such as the State of the Union Address. Updates from SRN News are heard several times each day.
In 1973, the "Wisconsin Voice of Christian Youth" organization acquired the station. On June 11, 1973, the call sign was changed to WVCY. The power and antenna height were boosted to the maximum Class B levels. When 690 AM in Oshkosh switched its call letters to WVCY in 1995, that required 107.7 to add the -FM suffix, resulting in its call sign becoming WVCY-FM.
