Q8 Radio

Q8 Radio is deep in Italy's listing, at 350 of 400. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

No opens have been recorded against Q8 Radio in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Among 400 stations in Italy here, this is the only one that puts instore radio first. The instore radio rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

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

The stream is served from nr15.newradio.it:9132, which no other entry in Italy uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

Q8 Radio keeps its own site at q8.it. The address sits under Italy's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
