WGXI is affiliated with the Midwest Farm Report, Bill Baker's Dairy Minute, weather forecasts from WISN-TV in Milwaukee, and carries Plymouth High School boys varsity football. The station's studios are located on WI 57 North just east of Plymouth, with its transmitter behind the studio building.

Additionally, Galaxy Broadcasting operates WCLB (950), licensed to Sheboygan, as a simulcast of WGXI's programming under an operating agreement with that station's owner, Mountain Dog Media, to serve the eastern portion of Sheboygan County. WCLB is translated via FM on W297CK (107.3), also licensed to Sheboygan.
