Energy Radio Studio in Moscow — Online Webcam

Energy Radio — the voice of Moscow's youth

Energy radio station broadcasts on 104.2 FM in Moscow and has been a key player in the capital's youth media market for many years. The station's format features dance and pop music, dynamic morning shows, listener interactivity, and live broadcasts from concerts and festivals. The target audience is Muscovites aged 15–35 who listen to the radio in the car, on headphones in the subway, or at home while getting ready for work. The Energy studio is the place where dozens of hours of airtime are broadcast every day, and it is this studio that the camera is pointed at, offering a behind-the-scenes look at radio broadcasting.

From Paris to Moscow: the history of the Energy brand

The Energy brand is a Russian licensed version of the French radio station NRJ, owned by the NRJ Group media conglomerate. In France, NRJ (an acronym that stands for "New Radio for Youth") has been broadcasting since 1981 and is one of the most popular stations in Europe. In Russia, broadcasting began on September 1, 2006, when the Prof-Media corporation obtained a license to manage the brand. Today, the radio station is part of Gazprom-Media Holding (through the GPM Radio division), which provides the station with the resources to invite international stars and run large-scale promotional events. The station's slogan — "Only the best music!" — reflects its positioning as a platform with a carefully curated playlist.

Where the station broadcasts: Energy studios in Moscow

The station's main studio was located at Varshavskoye Highway, 9, building 1A — in the Danilovskaya Manufaktura business center. This is a historic building, a former textile factory reconstructed into a modern office complex. It was from here that the majority of Energy's programs were broadcast for many years. Morning shows were recorded in the studio, interviews were conducted, and live segments with artists took place. The facility was equipped to professional radio broadcasting standards: a multi-channel mixing console, soundproof booths, and a real-time air monitoring system.

Stars on live air: who visits the studio

Energy regularly invites international and Russian artists to the studio. Among the station's guests have been Enrique Iglesias, Paul Oakenfold, Shakira, and Maroon 5. Russian musicians — from pop performers to indie bands — are also frequent guests on morning shows. Artists come to the studio for interviews, live performances, and direct communication with listeners on air. Winners of the station's contests get the opportunity to visit the studio in person and meet their idols. On the station's VK Video page, there is a playlist of guest visit recordings where you can see how such meetings take place.

How the airspace is organized

A professional radio studio is a complex of equipment that ensures high-quality sound on air. The Energy studio features microphones on flexible boom arms, headphones for hosts and guests, and a multi-channel mixing console with dozens of faders and buttons. Flat-panel monitors on the walls display the broadcast timer, playlist, signal level, and the station's logo. The ceiling is equipped with professional stage lighting: spotlights and floodlights on metal trusses create the right atmosphere. The walls are lined with sound-absorbing panels — they ensure that only the host's clean voice reaches the air, without echo or background noise. Computer monitors at the workstations show the broadcast automation system through which the station's entire playlist is managed.

A radio station in the metro: a unique project at Delovoy Tsentr

One of Energy's most unusual studios is located right at the Delovoy Tsentr transport hub — ahead of the 90th anniversary of the Moscow Metro, a radio studio opened here, visible to passengers through a glass wall. People hurrying to transfer or waiting for a train can watch the hosts at work in real time and see how the broadcast is created. This radically changes the perception of radio as an "invisible" medium — listeners get the chance to see the voices they enjoy every day. The project became part of a large-scale program to revitalize public spaces in the Moscow Metro.

How to get into the Energy studio

The radio station offers tours for listeners — you can sign up for them on the official website energyfm.ru. During the tour, visitors see all the working areas of the studio, learn how the playlist is put together, how hosts prepare for air, and how the sound recording system works. Tour videos are available on YouTube and Rutube. In addition, winners of the contests and quizzes that Energy runs regularly get the chance to visit the studio as a guest on the morning show and ask questions to artists live on air. For editorial inquiries, the email info@radioenergy.ru is available.

What the camera shows

The online camera broadcasts the interior of the Energy radio studio in real time. In the frame — a curved control console with microphones on flexible boom arms, computer monitors, keyboards, and headphones. Flat screens with the station's logo are mounted in a row on the walls. The ceiling is equipped with professional stage lighting — spotlights and floodlights on metal trusses. The walls are lined with sound-absorbing panels. The webcam allows you to observe the hosts' workspace: when the studio is occupied, DJs, guests, and morning show participants appear in the frame. During off-air hours, the room is empty, but the equipment remains on — monitors are running, lights are on, and you can examine the professional radio studio in detail from the inside. The stream is available free of charge and without registration — just open the page to find yourself at the heart of Moscow radio broadcasting.
