Radio Energy Is On (Flac)

In Italy's ordering this is number 140 of 400, 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.

Twice the local median and then some: 1536 kbps where Italy's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

An OGG stream on a MP3 dial. The public directory records the format as the server reports it, and formats this far off the beaten track usually indicate somebody running their own encoder rather than a hosted service.

Its audio comes straight from stream.radioenergy.to, 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.

Radio Energy Is On (Flac) publishes at radioenergy.to. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
