The station broadcasts radio and television signals in Kandahar Province in south-eastern Afghanistan, bordering Pakistan.

Journalist Mohamad Kabir fled to Kabul where he worked at the main RTA station until the Taliban takeover in 1996.

A 2010 USAid report noted that the radio station broadcast for fifteen hours a day (7am to 10pm) on 1305kHz AM and 105.2 FM.

Television broadcasts were held from 4pm to 11pm, but also planned to expand the number of hours to eighteen.

Nonetheless, it was the second most-popular radio outlet in the province per an Arghandab survey, with a 37% approval rate behind AIR's 51%.
