FAQ: Advertising on Dorozhnoye Radio

Dorozhnoye Radio is a national music and information station in the Adult Contemporary format, built around the idea of a single broadcasting space for people on the road, reflected in its slogan Vmeste v puti (Together on the way). The station launched in 2003 in Kirishi in the Leningrad Region, grew into a nationwide network, and has been on air in Moscow since 2010.

More than 17.7 million people, or 27.3% of the measured population, listen to Dorozhnoye Radio weekly, and the station holds a 5.7% share of all radio listening in Russia (Mediascope, Radio Index, Russia, cities 100,000+, aged 12+, October 2025 – March 2026). By all three metrics the station ranks in the national top two.

The playlist is built on well-loved Russian songs of the 1980s and 1990s combined with contemporary Russian hits and popular international tracks. Around the music, the station airs traffic information and practical programs for people on the road, listener request shows, and a weekly hit parade voted by the audience.

The network includes 408 transmitter points, and the station can be heard in about 4,700 cities and towns, with 96.0 FM in Moscow and 87.5 FM in St. Petersburg. Broadcasting is complemented by an online stream, mobile apps, program podcasts, and active communities on major Russian social platforms.

The main options are direct audio spots in ad breaks, sponsorship of shows, hit parades, and offline events, and special projects built around the station's content. Digital audio placements in the online stream, mobile apps, and program podcasts are also available, so a campaign can combine broadcast and digital reach.

Yes. Sponsorship can be attached to on-air shows and to the station's large offline projects, including the annual Zvyozdy Dorozhnogo Radio award festival, which fills arenas and is broadcast on federal television, and the S Dnyom Rozhdeniya, Moskva! City Day concert. Event sponsorship gives brands both on-air presence and visibility at mass gatherings.

Dorozhnoye Radio positions itself as the only station whose programs are adapted to the local format in every point of its network. For an advertiser this means regional placements sound native to each market, which supports retail chains, dealerships, and other businesses that need localized messaging across many cities at once.

Yes. The station streams online, runs mobile apps, and publishes podcasts of its programs, and this digital inventory can be bought alongside broadcast airtime. Combining the two lets advertisers add addressable digital audio impressions to nationwide FM reach within a single campaign.

Yes. Advertisers can buy national airtime across the full network or place campaigns in individual cities through regional windows. Because local programming is adapted in every broadcast point, regional flights integrate naturally into the sound of each market instead of standing out as outside advertising.

The station was created for people on the road: its signal covers not only cities but also Russia's federal, regional, and local highways, whose total length is estimated by the federal road agency at about 1.1 million kilometers. Regular traffic updates and road-focused programs keep the station on in vehicles, which suits automotive, fuel, insurance, and travel advertisers.

RMAA Agency manages the full placement cycle for international advertisers: media planning, official airtime buying, adaptation and production of Russian-language audio creative, legal compliance of ad materials, campaign launch, and post-campaign reporting. This removes the need for an advertiser to have a legal entity or media buying expertise in Russia.
