Dare to Be Different era

As of 2018, Genesee Joe was given the Program Directors Position. It was then that WXUR took a turn towards a mix of classic hits and album cuts that relate to the CNY audiences. Trisolino's theory is that "Radio needs to regress in order to progress" in its relationship with the listener. The format tweak also included adding Current artists like Tedeschi Trucks Band, Greta Van Fleet. Joe Bonamassa, Marcus King and Blackberry Smoke to the regular rotation. New songs by classic and 90's artists are played as well. The station has a loyal and ever growing audience under its new Dare to Be Different format. Trisolino's practices during the pandemic featured heavy entertainment to counter the heavy news of the day. Quarantine Request Hours, in which the listeners got almost any song played for them were a huge hit. The station finally found its true self and has excelled!! The DRIVE Airstaff is now made up of The Bob and Tom Show, hosted by Rick Devoe, who also does a weekend shift. Genesee Joe PM Drive M-Sat. . nights are handled by BBQ Bob Merrick. BBQ Bob hosts The Friday Night Jam from 8pm until 6am on Saturday and comes back in for overnight Sundays hosting One More Saturday Night, a Grateful Dead or related bands feature at midnight on Saturday. Weekends feature The Doctor Jerry Kraus hosting The Recovery Room Radio Show, Sunday morning 9–12 Jerry has been "in the recovery room for over 11 years". Lady Di handles Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The Drive has outdone all expectations and has come out of the pandemic leaps and bounds ahead of any earlier era's. The format flip of sister station WNRS to El Zorro Radio Latino has made the cluster a strong point in the market.
