The station's studios are located in Little Rock off Chenal Parkway, and the transmitter tower is located on Shinall Mountain, near the Chenal Valley neighborhood of Little Rock.

Chris Counts covers the traffic reports. The station has John Tesh's Intelligence for your Life, Sunday through Friday nights at 7pm.

The station also has a positive reputation in the community with its involvement with charitable organizations, most notably Arkansas Children's Hospital where more than $1.1 million has been raised through a very successful three-day radiothon in February of every year. The station won the "Ken Peterson Founder's Award for Station of the Year" in 2008 for its work with ACH. B98 was competing against stations in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada.
