At present it broadcasts only online at Radio Kilimanjaro but it has been granted FM local licences for both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and hopes to start on-air broadcasts this Saturday 2nd October 2010 on 87.9FM in Glasgow and 87.7 in Edinburgh.

The online service can, of course, be accessed from anywhere in the world.
