The station reflects mainly the official line of the Lebanese government and being a non-partisan neutral channel also the views of all mainstream political forces in Lebanon.

The origins of the station go back to 1933 during the time of the French Mandate in Lebanon.

[4] Radio Lebanon has remained a non-commercial station declining from broadcasting any commercials, except for public aware announcements.

[citation needed] The traditional broadcasting was on the medium wave covering most of the Lebanese territory and some neighbouring countries on 836 kHz (for the main Arabic station) and 989 kHz (for the second channel foreign languages programming).

With the reorganization of the wavelengths in Lebanon to avoid jamming and interference, the Arab language programming of Radio Lebanon was allocated the frequencies 98.1 and 98.5 FM and the second channel for foreign languages was allocated broadcasting on 96.2 FM.
