Cypress Creek High School has the only student-run radio station in the county. Its format is party dance music. It uses NexGen, the same software used by other Clear Channel Communications and other radio stations across the country. It is run by high-school students in the tenth grade and above.

Due to it being the only student-run radio station in the county, the class has gotten a lot of attention and publicity from the local news and newspapers. In 2006, the radio-station was featured in Central Florida News 13 from Bright House Networks, interveiwing the students about the job.
The radio station has its own block shows that air regularly during the week [2]. Each of the shows is run either automatically or by the students who attend the class.
