It has satellite stations in Kochi, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Alappuzha. From August 2014 until January 2019, it had a satellite station in Dubai and was one of the few radio stations in the city broadcasting in Malayalam.[6][7] Its closure in 2019 made it the second Malayalam radio station to close in Dubai in the span of a year.[7]

Like other radio stations, Radio Mango had to adjust to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which it did by equipping on-air talent to broadcast entirely from home, and by participating in a coalition with other stations and the national Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to broadcast information about the pandemic to listeners.[8]
