Romantica

Romantica sits in the tail of the Dominican Republic's 66 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With one recorded open, Romantica sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the Dominican Republic's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Romantica has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in the Dominican Republic on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

At 128 kbps this is a typical stream for the Dominican Republic by the one measure the directory carries.

10 of the Dominican Republic's entries are served from radio.dominiserver.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

The broadcaster's own site is romantica103fm.blogspot.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.
