Radio Jordan first broadcast in 1956. Today it broadcasts a 24-hour Arabic service, as well as an English language service for 21 hours per day and a French language service for 13 hours per day.
The main channel for JRTV is its satellite channel, called Al-Urdunniyya (Arabic: الأردنية), meaning 'the Jordanian' [channel].
