Autoradio tops the ranking of popular radio stations in Russia cover

Every day, more than 7 million people across the country choose the flagship format of GPM Radio.


Autoradio took first place among Russian radio stations by daily audience aged 12+. Official data for July-December 2025 was presented by Mediascope.* The results of the Radio Index – Russia (100+) study showed that in the second half of the year, more than 7.2 million Russians, or 11.1% of the entire audience over 12 years, chose the station every day. More than 18.8 million people (29.0%) listened to Autoradio weekly (part of GPM Radio, which is included in Gazprom-Media Holding).

«Autoradio’s leadership is not just about reach, but about millions of moments when we hit exactly the right mood for a person. We feel the vibe that our audience lives by, and we create content that matches people’s tastes and needs. All Autoradio projects are stories about dreams. We give aspiring artists a chance to sing on the Murzilki Live show alongside stars, support entrepreneurs in Chelovek Dela, and turn the broadcast into real magic in the Lots of Money game. And when listeners of Autoradio from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad sing the iconic Victory song “Katyusha” together in unison, you realize that we are united. It’s really cool and truly inspiring! The world is changing, and we are changing with it. But one thing remains unchanged in us – the drive and sense of belonging».

Vadim Tereshchuk CEO of GPM Radio

Throughout the year, Autoradio organized many vibrant events. Among the most notable is the “Autoradio show. Classics. Duets” at the Kremlin Palace and the nationwide Autoradio “The Country Sings Katyusha!” flash mob dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. The golden season of the “Lots of Money on Autoradio” game was also popular. The radio station held the Know Ours competition: its winner was a participant in the “Strong Ideas for a New Time” forum and personally presented their business idea to the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. This dialogue was not the only one: during the direct line and the “Year in Review – 2025” press conference, the head of state answered a question from an Autoradio correspondent.


The scale of Autoradio is impressive: it is one of the largest federal radio networks with 406 transmitters provide high-quality signal reception in 76,500 localities across the country.** The broadcast is not only available on the radio, but also through smart speakers, on the website, and in the mobile app. The radio station creates content for social networks, collaborates with streaming services, and live star concerts on the Murzilki Live show and celebrity interviews by the hosts of Let’s Go are featured on popular video hosting platforms. Autoradio has more than 60 “radio Oscars”, golden microphones from Radiomania, and last year, it also won the grand prize. The radio station has been named “Brand of the Year in Russia”, “Brand No. 1”, and is a recipient of the Runet Prize, Silver Mercury, and many other prestigious awards.
