While album adult alternative is WGFR's primary format, other formats are broadcast at various times of day. For example, there is a block devoted to Hip-Hop and Dance
during the late night overnight hours, and students play a variety of music during set "specialty hours".
WGFR is used in two ways. First, it is used as part of SUNY Adirondack's Radio/TV Broadcasting program. Students are put on air as a requirement of college course COM 173, Basic Broadcast Techniques, and students create special programming through college course COM 188, Applied Production for Radio. Other on-air programs are provided by people who have volunteered for an on-air slot.
There is a five week DJ training course that is offered for those who want to be on the air at WGFR, but do not want to partake in the COM 173 course.
