Description
This row had no homepage and the station has one, at kompasfm.by, where it heads itself "Kompas FM - Всегда по пути", always going your way. Its own О нас text says only favourite music plays on Компас FM, music you are comfortable with all day: mornings bring current news, traffic information and good spirits from the presenters, afternoons are a lot of music and a minimum of talk so nothing distracts you from what you are doing, evenings bring useful information and good songs for an easy drive home, and at weekends there is a favourite playlist and the evening «Дискотека 90-х». Its own footer identifies the operator as the state institution «Ваяр», the military information agency of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus, and that agency's own site carries a page for the station headed «КОМПАС FM» - ВСЕГДА ПО ПУТИ!.

Artists
None. The station publishes no playlist, no song log and no chart on its own site. The check that would fill this is the audio stream behind its own "Слушать Радио Компас FM" button, whose address is inserted by script rather than written into the page.

Contact route
An email address, published not on the station's own site but on the operating agency's own page for the station, plus the station's own Instagram, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Telegram accounts and an embedded map of the studio location. The station's own «Контакты» section is an empty container that renders a heading and nothing else, so there is no email, no telephone number, no form, no WhatsApp and no request line on the station's own domain.

Era
Partly. The main service is current adult pop, and the one named strand is explicitly a period show, «Дискотека 90-х», on weekend evenings.
|
Компас FM | 2026 |
|
Music
Adult pop music with news and traffic in the morning, deliberately talk-light through the day, described by the station as music you are comfortable with at the wheel, at work, at home and at the dacha.
|
Компас FM | 2026 |
|
Language
Russian. The whole site is Russian: the О нас text, the monthly editor's column, every staff role title and the operator's own corporate footer. There is no Belarusian anywhere on it.
|
Компас FM | 2026 |
|
Kind
Live and presented, with eight named presenters, a named news chief and a sound designer on staff, and a morning block carrying live traffic reporting.

Worth knowing
The station was filed here with no homepage at all and no operator, and both are now settled from the operator's own material: a state military information agency runs a mainstream music station under its own separate brand and domain, and publishes a monthly literary column from its editor-in-chief on the station's front page.

«Дискотека 90-х», which its own О нас text places on weekend evenings, and the «Колонка главного редактора», a monthly editor's column published on the site rather than broadcast.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

The row was filed with no homepage, and the station has one on its own domain. https://kompasfm.by/ answers 200 with no redirect and is unmistakably this station's own site: it heads itself 'Kompas FM - Vsegda po puti', publishes an 'O nas' section describing its own morning, daytime, evening and weekend output including the weekend evening 'Diskoteka 90-h', publishes its own frequency list reading 102,5 FM Minsk, 95,4 FM Vitebsk, 94,8 FM Mogilev and 101,5 FM for Slonim, Baranovichi and Ivatsevichi, names fourteen staff under 'Komanda kompas FM' including eight presenters, and carries a monthly column from its own editor-in-chief. Its footer names the operator as the state institution 'Vayar', the military information agency of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus. I confirmed the link independently on the operator's own site: https://vayar.mil.by/radio/ carries a page headed 'KOMPAS FM - VSEGDA PO PUTI!' whose only listener contact is an email address on the kompasfm.by domain itself. Two of the operator's own sites therefore agree on the station, the brand and the domain. |

|
The row was stored with no language. Russian is settled by the station's own site at https://kompasfm.by/: the 'O nas' text, the frequency list, all fourteen staff role titles, the presenter and editor labels, the cookie notice and the September editor's column are all in Russian, as is the operator's own page for the station at https://vayar.mil.by/radio/. I checked specifically for Belarusian, since the station is Belarusian and the row is filed under BY, and found none: there is no Belarusian text, no Belarusian-language strand and no language switcher anywhere on the station's own site. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The Facebook and Viber contact icons that sit in the station's own contacts markup | both are commented out and do not render, so they are not live contact routes.
source |
| A page-builder version token left inside the empty contacts block | it is a build artefact, not content.
source |
| The operating agency's registration number and the campaign headings in its own site navigation | they are the parent agency's corporate and editorial material, not this station's output.
source |
| Long passages of the editor's September column | it is a personal seasonal essay rather than information about the station.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
