The Wyre keeps its output fully for North Worcestershire.[2].

The Wyre plays mainly adult contemporary music to a core audience of 25-54 year olds,[1] "Today's Music and Classic Hits", with a mixture of music from the last few decades and 'today's music'.[1]
Other content includes national and local news, travel bulletins throughout the week until 6pm (5pm weekends), local quizzes, on air games, competitions, local 'Lost & Found' bulletins, 'Community Noticeboard' with local events and 'Job Search' bulletins with companies looking for employees.[1]
In September 2009, The Wyre gained permission from OFCOM to leave town and co-locate with Telford FM in Shropshire but the output still remains totally for North Worcestershire with local news and information in the day.[4]
