The Live Performance Lounge sessions are also videotaped, and are presented on the station's website with high quality audio. These sessions are recorded, and annual compilations are released in the KINK Live CD series, a benefit for Start Making A Reader Today. The KINK Live Performance Lounge brings together touring artists and KINK listeners for casual three to five song performances with brief interviews, either in the KINK studio's performance space, or in another location such as a concert venue or coffee shop. In recent years, KINK has expanded its offerings of live musical performances. Such features include the Listener Sets Weekend, the KINK Hall of Fame, Five Decades of KINK, and the KINK Summer School of Rock. These features can run for a weekend or longer, and often involve input from KINK's listeners. Beginning in 1973 and ending in the early 2000's, KINK aired a late night program of mellow instrumental music known as 'Lights Out.' The station regularly airs special music features in addition to its regular format. KINK showcases emerging artists from the Portland area with its nightly Local Music Spotlight feature, as well as independent or unsigned artists with a feature known as The Gamut.

These include the Sunday Night Blues Room, Sunday Acoustic KINK, and Tranceformation, a weekly selection of trance and chill music. KINK's format also features several special programs, some of which have been in place for many years. KINK plays a wide variety of music, including adult album alternative, rock, acoustic, folk, pop, blues, reggae and new age. In the vernacular of commercial radio, KINK is known as a 'heritage' radio station. Many of KINK's DJs have been associated with the station for decades.
