Since being acquired by Standard Radio, the EZ Rock community profile has skyrocketed. With a combination of heritage programs and new initiatives EZ Rock is very involved in its market. Each November, along with sister stations CFBR and The Team 1260, EZ Rock broadcasts live for 2 days from the Stollery Children’s Hospital. In year one, $300,000 was raised for the Pediatric Oncology Unit, in year two, EZ Rock and her sister stations raised $500,000 for Research. The station is also known for the EZ Rock Christmas Party for Single Parent Families where families in need are treated to a very special Christmas.

Programmed by longtime Edmonton broadcaster Steve Moore, EZ Rock is a station designed to appeal to office work environments. Music is slanted towards female listeners 25-54 and features two staples of evening radio in North America, John Tesh and Delilah.
