Rádio Čas Rock (192 kbps)

In Czechia's ordering this is number 24 of 74, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The directory records no language for Rádio Čas Rock (192 kbps). That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Czechia's listing without being one of its outliers.

Its audio comes straight from icecast9.play.cz, an address unique to this entry in Czechia'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.

Their site is casrock.cz, a domain registered in Czechia. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
