Kino FM (98.0 FM – Moscow)
Кино́ FM (98 FM — 98 хито́в) [kʲɪˈno ɛf ɛm], in English Kino FM (98 FM — 98 hits) was a Moscow music radio station broadcasting all day in FM at a frequency of 98.0 MHz. Kino FM started broadcasting in 2007 as a thematic radio station dedicated to the film industry. In the beginning they used to transmit programmes with films information, programmes about cinema stars, film history and everything related to the world of cinema. The broadcast songs were about Russian and foreign films. On the night of 26–27 October 2008, the radio format changed, specially about music; then radio broadcasts were based on recent music of Russian and foreign artists or bands. Kino FM's last jingle was "98 FM - 98 Hits" but the official name of the station was the same as it was in the beginning - "Кино́ ФМ Москва́" (literally - "Cinema FM" of Moscow), which sounds in the late night jingle, in the beginning of the new day hours.
On 22 December[year needed] the radio had its last transmission, changing at midnight on 23 December to broadcast as a new radio station, Radio Shokolad [ˈradiʲo ˌʂɐkəˈlat].
