In July 1978 the then minister in charge of communications, Tony Staley, granted licences around Australia for the provision of RPH services.

On Saturday 26 June 1982 7RPH commenced daily programming from 73 Montague Street, New Town, and was the first RPH Radio Station anywhere in Australia to do so.

The service areas covered are the municipalities of Brighton, Bruny, Clarence, Glenorchy, Green Ponds, Hobart, Huon, Kingborough, Port Cygnet, Richmond, Glamorgan/Spring Bay and Tasman.

In December 2003, the station commenced transmissions via a translator service to Launceston, the Tamar Valley and surrounding townships on a frequency of 106.9FM.

Print Radio Tasmania (PRT) is 'on air' continuously, commencing local programming at 8am and concluding at midnight each day.
