Weekdays from 6 AM - 10 AM feature "The Morning Tiger" with veteran radio personality Steve Ocean hosting. Weekdays from 10 AM - 2 PM are hosted by Chris Rock; the 12pm hour features "The Flashback Lunch", "the very best new wave, retro, grunge, modern rock, and one-hit-wonders from the 70s, 80s, and 90s". "The Afternoon Drive" is aired weekdays from 2 PM - 4 PM with host Will. Rounding out the day from 4-6pm is critically acclaimed sports news and talk program "SportsCall" (see below).

Alternative rock from the 1990s and the 2000s is the dominant style of music on the Tiger.
