The station was originally licensed to broadcast with an average effective radiated power of 2,800 watts, which was increased to 4,200 watts on 21 December 2005. Terms of the license included a stipulation that 90% of all programming in each broadcast week must be ethnic in nature. The station is required to provide programming in at least 15 different languages, targeted at no less than 15 different ethnic groups. 75% of this programming must be in the Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu languages.
