Over time, 6NR gave birth to four major community stations, now broadcasting to the Perth metropolitan area: WAAMA; Sonshine Radio; Radio for the Print Handicapped; and EBAA. 6NR was the first station in WA to broadcast European soccer matches and the first to present a music program specifically for the older listener The Old Time Radio and Glee Club.

The station initially supported country music through its country music breakfast show and still provides extensive country coverage.
Of course, music from the 50's, 60's and 70's has been a specialty of the station. The station has won many awards and was the first in Australia to officially provide training for Aboriginal cadets, receiving grant funding for the purpose from then Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser.
