Город FM Брест 97,7

Rank 44 of 47 in Belarus. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The open count against Город FM Брест 97,7 is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Город FM Брест 97,7 is the only station in Belarus whose first tag is decades, out of 47 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Belarus does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only decades station.

The stream is 128 kbps where Belarus' median is 160. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

The stream address on this entry points at stream2.datacenter.by, which is where 8 other stations in Belarus are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
