Later, Avtoradio began altering its music format.

By this point, only four foreign songs were played per hour: at the 12th and 42nd minutes (80s and 90s hits) and at the 27th and 57th minutes (contemporary hits from the 2000s to the present). The ratio of Russian to foreign music became 80/20.
Starting April 1, 2017, Avtoradio further reduced the number of foreign hits to just two songs per hour, completely eliminating contemporary foreign hits from regular programming. The ratio shifted to 90/10 in favor of Russian music. However, modern foreign hits continued to air during the morning show Poehali ("Let's Go") and the evening show Murzilki LIVE. Additionally, foreign songs accounted for up to 50% of the content in the special project Disco 80s. On May 27, 2021, Avtoradio reintroduced contemporary foreign hits at the end of every hour.
From April 1, 2022, Avtoradio added contemporary foreign hits at the 27th and 58th minutes of each hour. 80s–90s hits began airing at the 11th and 41st minutes. Occasionally, tracks from the 2000–2022 period are played at the 41st minute, while 80s–90s tracks sometimes appear at the 58th minute.
