It is the largest television broadcaster in Latium by audience share, followed closely by Verruscosi Holdings broadcast entities including LTC and Delpha. RAL broadcasts throughout Latium, including the Aveli Islands. RAL broadcasts is also available in neighboring counties due to proximity, and elsewhere by satellite. It offers programming in Latin, Byzantic Hellene, Gelonian and occasionally Audonian; though its online news service offers services in nearly 20 different languages.

Regular programing followed two days later, and featured news service, music and readings. RAL became the largest radio broadcaster in Latium by audience share from its inception until the Social War, where is was surpassed by LTC.
RAL became the second broadcaster to launch television service, coming in four months after BRT in 1943. Today, RAL is the largest broadcaster by audience share in Latium.
