Vesti FM (Russian: Радиостанция «Вести ФМ») is a radio station based in Russia and owned by VGTRK. It started broadcasting on 5 February 2008, at 6:00 am Moscow Time. The station is included in the first multiplex of digital television in Russia using DVB-T2 technology.

Vesti FM is described as a pro-Russian government broadcasting network.

History

The station began broadcasting on 5 February 2008, in Moscow on 97.6 MHz. At first the station broadcast only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, it now broadcasts to more than sixty regions of Russia.

Transmitters

At the end of the 1960s, the USSR began to build a powerful transmitter site for propaganda to Western countries in Grigoriupol in the Maiac region of Transnistria. The "Moldovan Republic of Pridniestrov" (Transnistria) sold the facility to the Russian state media company RIA Novosti in 2007. The Russian Federation mandated the Vesti FM to also broadcast over Grigoriupol's powerful medium-wave transmitters.

Vesti FM started broadcasting on 1413 kHz with 500 KW power from 2014, just before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The transmitter thus reached not only the entire Ukraine, but also a large part of Eastern and Western Europe without any problems.

In the early morning of 26 April 2022 one of multiple antenna system of Vesti FM was blown up by unknown persons. However the MW station on 1413 kHz is still working.
