HIT FM broadcasts live from Moscow with an energetic mix of dance and pop, built around the platinum hits of the last two or three years rather than deep catalogue. It is one of the most widely distributed stations in Russia, and you can stream it free anytime on Radio Shuffle.
Nearly Three Decades on Air
HIT FM first went on air on May 30, 1997, broadcasting on 107.4 MHz in Moscow. For its first several years the station belonged to Boris Zosimov's BIZ Enterprises holding, one of the entrepreneurs who helped shape Russia's commercial radio landscape in the years after the Soviet collapse. In November 2004, ownership passed to Russian Media Group, the holding company that still runs the station today alongside several other major Russian commercial brands.
That change of ownership didn't change the core idea. HIT FM has stuck to a Contemporary Hit Radio format the entire time: current, high-rotation pop and dance tracks aimed squarely at listeners who want whatever is popular right now, not a nostalgia trip.
A Signal That Reaches Far Beyond Moscow
What makes HIT FM notable is its reach. The network now extends to more than 900 cities and towns across Russia, with additional coverage in Moldova, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, making it one of the most widely rebroadcast commercial formats to come out of the Russian Media Group stable. A station built around a simple, repeatable premise, current hits delivered with high energy, turned out to be exactly the kind of format that scales easily from a single Moscow frequency into a true national and regional network.
That scale also explains the station's staying power. Formats built on tightly curated current hits need constant refreshing to stay relevant, and HIT FM has managed to keep its platinum rotation current for nearly thirty years without losing the station's core identity.
What You'll Actually Hear
Expect upbeat dance and pop tracks in heavy rotation, mixing Russian-language hits with international pop and dance crossovers, all delivered with the kind of high-energy pacing built for driving, working out, or just keeping the mood up. It is music for right now, not a history lesson.
HIT FM is free to stream on Radio Shuffle alongside thousands of other stations from around the world. Press play and get the current rotation live from Moscow.
