According to the head of the station, Anwar Thomas programmes  include live discussions, sports coverage and local news bulletins.

" We commit to provide well-researched programming and news content that meets both professional journalism standards and ethics of broadcasting, abiding and actively promoting broadcasting laws and Namibian Constitutional values," Thomas said.
