Love Radio

Held against the 10 stations in Armenia on this site, this one is in the leading three. The order is the directory's count of stream opens rather than anybody's judgement, which is worth saying because a leading position on a list like this reflects habit as much as anything else.

Among 10 stations in Armenia here, this is the only one that puts international first. The international rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

Across every country, Love Radio is 8 of the 39 stations leading with international, by the same open count the country list uses.

At 192 kbps, this sits below most of Armenia's listing, whose median is 256 kbps. 100% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

Love Radio streams in AAC+ while almost all of Armenia's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Its audio comes straight from loveradio.streamingmedia.it, an address unique to this entry in Armenia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
