It broadcasts under licence from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.[1] Comharchumann Raidió Átha Cliath Teoranta, which was set up in 1989, is the organisation which owns and operates Raidió na Life 106.4fm. In October 2017, the station moved from the offices of 7 Merrion Square to new purpose built studios in the new headquarters of Foras na Gaeilge, located at 63-66 Amiens Street on the north side of the city.[2][3]
