Christian Era
Since September 16, 1989, WMCA has been doing a Christian radio format, typical for Salem Communications. Initially it had the slogan "New York's Christian Radio", and currently has the moniker "New York's Inspiring Talk".
WMCA ran extra Christian programming on WWDJ 970 AM in the New Jersey/New York area, also owned by Salem Communications. This second station was publicly billed as "WMCA II" or "WMCA 970" until its calls were changed to WNYM and it adopted a talk format.
WMCA also runs NEWSTALK WMCA.COM, an Internet feed which re-broadcasts nationally syndicated talk shows with a social conservatism viewpoint, including those from Mike Gallagher, Bill Bennett, Michael Medved, and Laura Schlessinger (all of whom can also be heard on WNYM).
In recent years, WMCA has attempted to establish a connection back to its "Good Guys" era. Their website has a tribute to the 1960s jocks, while their current air personalities — "a whole new team of 'Good Guys' filling the airwaves with the Good News" — make appearances and give out an updated version of the Good Guys sweatshirt . On air, the station is billed as "The Home of the Good Guys" and 1960s-style Good Guys jingles are sometimes used to identify personalities on air.

“The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the transpolitical is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.”
