The KRLX studios are located in the basement of the Sayles-Hill Campus Center, Carleton's student union; they feature basic production tools, a record library, and a live FM studio. The basement location is the motivation for the station's motto, "It's better on the bottom."

Because Carleton does not offer a summer term, the station generally broadcasts September through June, though not during winter and spring breaks.
