RTSH runs a national television station (TVSH) and two national radio stations (using the name Radio Tirana).

Shortwave radio operates between the frequencies of 3,000 kHz and 30 MHz (30,000 kHz) and came to be referred to as such in the early days of radio because the wavelengths associated with this frequency range were shorter than those commonly in use at that time. ...
Since 1993, RTSH has also run an international television service via satellite, aimed at Albanian-language communities in Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and northern Greece, plus the diaspora in the rest of Europe. 1993 (MCMXCIII) is a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

Communist rule
Under communist rule, the English-language external service was broadcast on the same mediumwave wavelength as BBC Radio 1 - 247 metres (1214KHz). The service was renamed "Radio One Tirana" to use this coincidence to the Albanian state's advantage. The service broadcast propaganda, "news" and commentary aimed at young listeners in the UK and Ireland read by announcers who were expelled or resigned one time members of the Communist Party of Great Britain. This service had the added advantage of swamping signals from the BBC's popular music service that may have reached Albania. Communism refers to a theoretical system of social organization and a political movement based on common ownership of the means of production. ...

One feature was "Frank and Ernest", which listed the "crimes" of the US government and the "collaboration" of the UK therein. One preferred angle was to list, in some detail, the wanton and perverted private behaviour of the American First Lady behind her husband's back. Whilst this may have had an effect on some listeners, it appears that the majority found the Radio Tirana output to be either very funny or an unwanted distraction from the BBC service. Radio One Tirana also provided weather forecasts that, for various reasons, were designed to be innaccurate and thus disrupt economic activity in the UK.

The service had to walk a fine line between being anti-West whilst also being anti-Soviet. As such, Radio One Tirana kept close to the official policy of the People's Republic of China, which was also both anti-West and anti-Soviet whilst still being communist in tone.
