Initially, the service only broadcast radio programmes - mainly News and current affairs, however, it later expanded by introducing entertainment slots, long form, features, magazines, hard talk and interactive shows such as Stasy Ghag Your Voice which is still very popular among its audience.

The new vibrant, hard-hitting live programme provides Pashto speakers with in-depth reporting, analysis and interviews.

It also has a weekly interactive segment, Staso Ghazh (Have Your Say), containing live phone-ins, social media round ups, comments, video, pictures and audio content from viewers.

The programme is presented by lead anchors Sana Safi and Amanullah Atta.
