RRI produces in total six programs with international (Overseas Program), national (Programs National I and II), regional (Programs Regional I and II) and local (Capital City I and II, Program for Jakarta) coverage.
Programs are broadcasted from 151 RRI stations countrywide and program distribution is mainly based on a satellite network.
