Trans World Radio-Africa has a technical team of about 12 people. These people work in the areas of transmitter operation and maintenance, audio recording and playout, and studio and information technology. TWR broadcasts from various transmitter sites in Africa including TWR Swaziland and the Middle East on short wave, and TWR West Africa on medium wave (AM). In addition, TWR broadcasts programmes via several TWR partner FM radio networks, and two satellite channels that offer direct-to-home services to various parts of the continent.

To support this network of transmitters in Africa, TWR has recording studios in ten different countries and a playout centre located in Kempton Park, South Africa.
