Radio Van
"Radio Van" was established in 1997 and has become one of Armenia's most recognized radio stations, offering diverse programming that includes musical, analytical, and informational content across multiple genres. The station gained notable recognition in 2020 when it received the "Best Radio Station of the Year" award at the "Best Armenian Brand"-2020 ceremony.
Beyond its FM-103.1 frequency, Radio Van operates the radiovan.fm website, extending its reach to audiences outside Yerevan. However, the station's digital presence reflects its primary linguistic focus: both the website interface and most content—including materials on its YouTube channel—are available exclusively in Russian. While Radio Van identifies itself as a Russian-language radio station, it does broadcast some programming in Armenian as well.

Facts
| Founding Year | 1997 Press publications and the "Radio Van" website list the founding year as 1998, with Shushanik Arevshatyan presented as the founder-director. However, official records from the State Register of Legal Entities of the Ministry of Justice show that "Radio Van" LLC was actually established in 1997, creating a discrepancy between the company's public presentation and its legal registration date. |
