Radio moscow will likely get the same traction as "Air America" did for the *******s. It will come and go with nary a listener.

The pro-Russia news outlet Sputnik is entering the Washington, D.C. radio market in an effort to push back against what it called "constant attacks" by U.S. media companies.

Sputnik Radio announced Friday that it has taken over 105.5 FM, which previously aired bluegrass music.

Sputnik was launched by Rossiya Segodnya, a Russian state-run news service, in 2014 and has been accused in the U.S. of being a propaganda tool of the Kremlin.

We've had pro-American radio sent into Russia for awhile.

If it were Chinese radio would it be hip and multi-cultural? Why not Russian?

Seems pretty clear to me. Why do you not like the 1st Amendment?
