The radio is overseen jointly by a station controller, appointed by SLBC and an executive director, appointed by UPC. Technical matters are attended by an SLBC technician. Radio programming is done by a team of fifteen to eighteen radio producers, generally young people recruited from Uva Province itself, with roughly equal numbers of men and women, and Tamil and Sinhala speakers. The Buttala telecentre  facility is largely run local volunteers, several of whom receive a small stipend for training and for taking charge of the facility in the absence of any full-time paid staff.
