Much of BPR News is a straight simulcast of WCQS but, in time slots where WCQS airs music, BPR News airs news and talk programming, providing listeners who dislike the classical format with a choice of listening. On weekdays the BBC's "Newshour" is broadcast from 9am till 10am, followed by "On Point" from 10am till noon. In the afternoons, "Here and Now" goes out between 1pm and 3pm. Some daytime shows receive a repeat broadcast in the evenings on BPR News.
