As of September 2024, WBN airs 27 hours of regularly scheduled network programming each week. The network provides 16 hours of primetime programming to affiliated stations, from 8:00PM to 10:00PM on weekdays, with sports taking up weekends during primetime
The network also provides daytime programming at 9:00AM and 12:30PM in Eastern and Pacific time (subtract one hour for all other timezones), and includes reruns of The Blake Wagner Show at the 9:00AM timeslot (replacing Morgan Lohr Live in March 2025), with it running two episodes from the previous season, and new episodes at the 12:30PM timeslot.
WBN Sports is provided on most weekends starting at 1PM eastern. Due to the unpredictable lengths of sporting events, WBN affiliates in the Eastern and Central time zones often won't air weekend news at 10PM, instead opting to air news at 11PM as a replacement.
WBN also provides a kids block, WBN Kids, which airs from 7:30AM to 11AM on Saturday mornings, with it mostly airing kids programs from other networks due to exclusive deals with Cartoon Network, Disney, and Nickelodeon.
