KNR provides one national television station and one national radio station. The radio station operates on 650 kHz mostly in the Greenlandic language (Kalaallisut) but also in Danish. The television schedule consists of a mix of locally produced programmes, news in Kalaallisut, plus the main news bulletins and some other programmes from Danmarks Radio (DR), and TV2 in Copenhagen. A second radio channel relays DR output directly but is available only in the capital, Nuuk.
