A few months later, the first advertisement appeared, and the creators of the radio did not fail, having inserted the phrases of Nikolai Fomenko into each advertising block, which ridiculed our realities in a humorous form. A few years later Fomenko was replaced by Vadim Galygin, and after him Dmitry Nagiyev took hold as a humorous commentator.
