Radio Barocco

Radio Barocco is deep in Italy's listing, at 353 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.

Radio Barocco has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Nothing else in Italy's listing leads with news talk music. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

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.

Its audio comes straight from radio.uiclecce.it, an address unique to this entry in Italy'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 radio.uiclecce.it, a domain registered in Italy. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
