The station has been involved in heavily promoting local musical talent over the years through its Singer/Songwriter Competition, The Rock Olympics, The Electronic Music Competition and the Blue Mountains Music Awards. It even has a Dog Song Competition!

The station connects with the youth of the area through its BLU Youth Online Network as well as numerous youth oriented programs which go to air.

Starting out at breakfast with news ,traffic and weather updates , through to interviews with local vets ,doctors and politicians, entertainment reviews and news, the station continuously provides the community with Rural Fire Service information, a Community Noticeboard, a Talking Newspaper for the visually impaired, a huge cross genre of music from the oldies to the very newest with seventy one presenters bringing their listeners a platform of variety from health and well being to Sex, God and Garage Sales.
