The station played standard Hot AC artists, but also marketed itself as having the most variety; a typical hour's playlist would include several current pop hits, as well as Disco, Country, Classic R & B, and Classic Rock.The station was known for its involvement with the local community; the airstaff averaged nearly 200 personal appearances a year, and did a considerable amount of community-oriented charity work. The station's signature event was a Polar Plunge promotion called The Leprechaun Leap, which raised money for United Cancer Services of Elkhart County.After a successful 10-year run as a Froggy-branded station, WLEG segued to a sports talk format branded as 102.7 The Fan on Monday, June 4, 2012 at 9:00 AM EST as part of a series of music-to-sports format changes that occurred across Indiana that day. The last song on Froggy 102.7 was Part of Me by Katy Perry (which was cut off about halfway through by the introductory montage for The Fan.) 102.7 The Fan features numerous syndicated programs from the Fox Sports Radio network, including The Dan Patrick Show, among others.
