If everything has been clear with television broadcasting for a long time - even those who watch it are scolded - then things are much more fun with radio. It accompanies us literally at every step in everyday life: at home, at work and during leisure. Radio stations allow us not only to get the latest news, but also to enjoy our favorite music.
Radio stations in Moscow and the Moscow region operate on an extended FM band from 87 to 107 MHz. There could quite successfully fit about 42 stations. Tastes, of course, are different for everyone, but the abundance of channels is enough even for the most demanding music lovers.
Next, we will present you the rating of Moscow radio stations, each of which is in enviable demand both among Muscovites themselves and among guests of the capital. So, the radio stations of Moscow and the Moscow region (list of the best):

"Autoradio" - 90.3 MHz
The Avtoradio broadcasting network is designed for one and a half thousand cities of Russia, including Moscow and the region. Almost all popular radio stations in Moscow have their own peculiarities and features, but unlike most, the scale of Avtoradio's events is simply amazing. So, every year, under the name of the radio station, a grand event is held - "Disco of the 80s", where crowds of fans from all over Russia gather. The event impresses with its enchantment, scale and has an excellent entourage in the style of the 80s.
For the first time the voice of Avtoradio was heard in Perm, in 1990. And after a couple of years, the radio station received a broadcasting status, and as a source and mass media rushed to conquer all of Russia. Three years ago, to celebrate the 20th anniversary in Moscow, Russian stars and foreign performers, famous politicians, athletes and actors came to the celebration of Avtoradio. The anniversary marathon lasted almost eleven hours, and huge sums of money, gifts and other significant prizes were raffled off.
"Russian Radio" - 105.7 MHz
The second most popular channel and silver in our list representing the rating of Moscow radio stations goes to Russian Radio. The main feature of this station is broadcasting exclusively in Russian, that is, no Western songs, only Russian speech and music.
All radio stations in Moscow before you getAt the peak of their popularity, they went through a difficult and thorny path, and Russian Radio was no exception. Its first broadcast was released back in 1995, and initially everything was broadcast in test mode.
A few months later, the first advertisement appeared, and the creators of the radio made the right decision by inserting phrases from Nikolai Fomenko into each advertisement block, who ridiculed our realities in a humorous form. A few years later, Fomenko was replaced by Vadim Galygin, and after him, Dmitry Nagiyev established himself as a humorous commentator.
In 1997, the Golden Gramophone Award was established. She was recognized by all radio stations in Moscow and Russia. The award ceremony is held every year in the Kremlin, and the winners of the award are selected based on the results of voting by radio listeners.
"Retro-FM" - 88.3 MHz
Bronze goes to "Retro-FM", on the waves of which sound musical compositions of the 70s, 80s and 90s of the last century. The station began its work at the end of 1995 and is aimed at the age group from 30 to 50 years old.
All radio stations in Moscow and Russia have their listeners, but the number of Retro-FM fans is simply amazing - 8 million people, which is almost 12% of the entire population of the country.
"Europe Plus" - 106.2 MHz
The station broadcasts mainly for teenage and close to her audience (from 16 to 30 years old). Radio stations in Moscow and the region may envy the territory that Europe Plus is able to cover. Broadcasts are conducted not only for the capital and the Russian listener, but also for the former CIS andother nearby countries.
It would be useful to note that the station ranks first in terms of the cost of ad units.
All radio stations in Moscow recognize the scope with which Europe Plus operates. She is a partner and organizer of concerts of such stars as Sting, Madonna, Timberlake, Kylie Minogue and Beyoncé. A few years ago, the radio station signed another good partnership contract with U2, whose concert was recently held in Moscow.
"Radio Chanson" - 103.0 MHz
As already mentioned, many radio stations in Moscow have some of their original features and musical images, but they are still far from the level of Radio Chanson. More than a million people wake up and go to bed with the waves of this radio. Throughout Russia, this figure is naturally higher, but what is remarkable: the main audience of Radio Chanson should, in theory, be male, but judging by the statistics, more than 47% of listeners are women.
The channel broadcasts thematic programs and musical compositions marked "chanson". There are conversations with famous bards, performers of urban romances and other authors of folk art. A high-quality radio station was loved not only in Russia, but also in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
"Echo of Moscow" - 91.2 MHz
Echo of Moscow gained its fame thanks to the events that took place in August 1991. In those difficult times for the country, the channel becamea single radio station that opposed the GKChP. Basically, not much has changed since then. Ekho Moskvy is still considered an independent mass media, not only by listeners, but also by third-party critics.
In the words of the general director of the station, A. Venediktov, Echo of Moscow is a place where you can freely discuss, analyze and express your (and any) point of view.
The radio has the status of a closed joint stock company, where most of the shares are in the hands of Gazprom-Media Holding, and the rest are distributed among the employees of the station itself - hence the "frequency" of opinions.
"Radio Energy" - 104, 2 MHz
One of the most popular French stations is also loved by Muscovites. Broadcasting on our territory began about ten years ago, after Radio Energia acquired a license for the right to use the brand.
The air is filled mainly with mobile and youth musical compositions, so the station has an appropriate age group - from 16 to 30 years old. On the air you can hear brief news and the latest novelties of modern music trends.
"Humor-FM" - 88.7 MHz
Humor has been and remains the top priority for this radio. The station began broadcasting about 11 years ago, replacing the lost Radio Disco.
On the air of the radio station you can hear light pop music diluted with all sorts of jokes and anecdotes. For an endless stream of new jokes,radio station "Humor FM" has established close relations with the TNT channel, popular Internet resources such as "AnecdotRU", and, of course, with the radio listeners themselves, who send new jokes in an endless stream through telephone communication and SMS.
Many Muscovites speak very warmly of the Humor-FM radio station, because it is practically the only channel where you can escape from the boring city bustle and bad news.
"Business FM" - 87.5 MHz
This station is purely business in nature and features fresh and reliable stock market news, exchange rates, business press monitoring and other business information.
"Business FM", judging by the reviews of critics, this is the rare case when its slogan: "First Business Radio" does not lie. The station is especially proud of the concept of "instant news", which are released as quickly as possible, and without waiting for the main news block.
"Road Radio" - 96.0 MHz
Closes the rating of radio stations beloved by Muscovites by no less significant channel for car owners - "Road Radio". In addition to Moscow, it sounds in more than five hundred of our cities and on all major highways. By the way, some particularly meticulous listener calculated that the total length of roads where you can hear "Road Radio" exceeds 1,000,000 kilometers.
Radio came to Moscow from St. Petersburg and Kirishi about 12 years ago. The radio station broadcasts popular chanson compositions, urban romances, musicof the last century and dilutes it all with light pop music along with important information about the events taking place on the roads. Also on the waves of "Road Radio" you can find out the current weather forecast, important news and participate in numerous quizzes and polls.
