Its headquarters is located on Seaforth Road, Stornoway along with BBC Alba and MG Alba.
The station is available from FM transmitters throughout Scotland: its service licence states that "BBC Radio nan Gàidheal should be available every day for general reception across Scotland on FM"; it can also be heard on digital television platforms, DAB Digital Radio, and online.
