Broadcast[]
Radio Rossii is classified as an information and light entertainment station. It is one of the state's information channels, meant to appeal to a wide audience with varying tastes. It's included in the first multiplex of digital TV broadcasting DVB-T2. Local state affiliates (GTRKs) broadcast regional programs on Radio Rossii.

With about 1,500 FM transmitters,[1] Radio Rossii has the largest FM coverage in Russia. It remains the only station with a widespread OIRT-FM coverage (65.9-74 MHz). This band is only used in CIS countries. In most of the populated Russian areas Radio Rossii can be received both on OIRT and the standard FM band (87.5-108 MHz). Streams are also available via satellite and the internet. LW broadcasts were terminated on 9 January 2014;[2] medium wave and short wave broadcasts also stopped in the 2010s.
