At half past midnight, according to the schedule, they start News Special Part 3. R1, 2 and 3 as well. If you just wanted to hear some music, or drama… well, people will flee to the Internet even faster than they were already.

And then there is News Special Part 4 between 3:30 and 6am. After which it will be Today, which might possibly mention if someone has blown up Moscow…
