Starting in 2017, the station helped to strengthen a campaign to revitalize the annual Pioneer Park days events that drew income to the local Hardee County and Heartland Florida areas. WAUC now remotely broadcasts from various community events throughout the Heartland.

WAUC are the call letters used for the local television station depicted in the Academy Award-winning film Rocky. Real-life news anchor/reporter Diana Lewis interviews lead character Rocky Balboa in a refrigerated meat locker operated by the fictitious Shamrock Meats Inc.[2]
