The Cajun airs The Saturday Morning Get Together with Terry Laborde from 6-12PM highlighting Louisiana Swamp Pop, Zydeco and Cajun music. The Cajun also airs The Classic Pig Roast, playing earlier classics from the 1950s to the 1980s from 12-4 Saturdays and 12-3 Sundays with Pat's Place following with Cajun music until 6PM. KAPB transitioned to HD Radio in October 2024 to coincide with its 70th anniversary. KAPB-HD2 was placed on the air with a classic R&B format "Old School 977-2" featuring R&B from the late ’60s to the late ’80s.
