WXIX-TV is also involved in a variety of ongoing and seasonal non-broadcast activities such as career day presentations, community festivals, and fundraising efforts such as Food From the Heart. Due to an error in programming provided directly from the network (Grit TV) on October 27, 2018 at 12:30PM, episode #304 of Rock the Park aired without the required E/I graphic.
