Using a 400-watt Nautel transmitter and long-wire aerial, the station has its office in a room in the Government guesthouse overlooking the famous cliffs where huge Buddha statues once stood. The Taliban destroyed the figures late last year.

Although Radio Bamiyan has no studio equipment, broadcasting takes place by connecting tape recorders and microphones directly into the transmission equipment. U.S. Coalition forces based in Bamiyan supplied the transmitter, while locally employed Bamiyan staff produce programmes for broadcast.

Radio Bamiyan operates on 1500 kHz on the medium wave band and goes to air from 6.00pm to 7.30pm each evening.
