The station is operated by Kantipur FM Pvt. Ltd, a sister company of the Kantipur media group, which also publishes The Kathmandu Post and runs Kantipur TV and the ekantipur website. The station describes itself as Nepal's first private FM station; this is its own claim. Its stream identifies itself as Radio Kantipur 96.1 MHz. Programming is mainly in Nepali, with English used in some programme titles and segments.
Listeners can expect hourly news updates, morning shows and talk programmes on health, education and current life in Nepal, plus music blocks and a devotional programme. The online stream is MP3 at 128 kbps over HTTPS, so it plays in most browsers and apps. The full schedule is published on the station's website, radiokantipur.com, and may change from time to time.
