The building is 80 metres high and has a 522-seat concert hall with a large concert organ. The first test broadcast was made in 1984 and regular broadcasting began on 27 March 1985.

The building was included in a list of the 30 ugliest buildings in the world,[2] but has been defended by number of architects.[3]

The exterior of the building was a filming location for the 2018 spy thriller film Red Sparrow.[4]
