Radio Italia Anni 60 (Sicilia-Trapani)

At position 293 of 400, this is one of the stations in Italy that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

With one recorded open, Radio Italia Anni 60 (Sicilia-Trapani) sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Italy's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Italy's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Radio Italia Anni 60 (Sicilia-Trapani) streams in AAC+ while most of Italy's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Its audio comes from ice12.fluidstream.net. One other station in Italy streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
