It primarily broadcasts in Chicago and its suburbs, and the city of St. Louis. It is found in Chicago on WOCH-CA channel 41. RTV Bostel has established an agreement with Dish Network, to have it broadcast, the Bostel television program on Thursdays for one-hour.
Along with its radio and television broadcasts, Bostel tires to raise money for charities. It raises money for the Bosnian Mosque of the Chicago area. Currently it is raising for the establishment of a Bosnian Cultural Center in Chicago for the Bosnian community. It is also known for its money donations to poverty-stricken men, women, and children of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bostel expanded to a 24-hour service in October 2006, and has become available to viewers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bostel's mission is that it connects the displaced Bosnians with their nation. This is very much true considering the programs that they bring to the United States. One program called "Naša Realnost" gives inside and asks for donations to the poor. Bostel's focus is on helping the community as much as posible.
