Радио Свобода

Радио Свобода says freedom and radio in Cyrillic. A name that describes its own programming is worth reading rather than skipping, because it is a fact stated by the broadcaster rather than a tag added by whoever filed the entry into Czechia's listing.

Радио Свобода broadcasts in Russian from Czechia, one of four stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Czech, so these four entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

Russian radio in this directory sits largely in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, with 575 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Радио Свобода is the only station in Czechia whose first tag is новости, out of 74 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Czechia does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only новости station.

Радио Свобода publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
