The 30+ music programs cover a wide range of musical styles: reggae, blues, world music, as well as music from nearly all European countries, such as the Balkans or Italy. RaBe provides Bern and the surrounding region with an important community resource of essential information and support for the integration of the foreign community in Bern.

On 17 June 2011 it was announced that Radio RaBe has been awarded the Cultural Prize of Canton of Bern 2011. The prize includes a cash award of 30,000 Swiss Francs.

For 29 years, broadcasts were made from Randweg 21 in Bern's Lorraine neighborhood. [1] Due to building renovations, the station moved to Sulgenrain 28 in the Marzili neighborhood in 2025.
