Radio Italia Network

Radio Italia Network sits in the tail of Italy's 400 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.

Radio Italia Network 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.

Italian is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six Italy's listing records.

Radio Italia Network streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Italy's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 70% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from gr.fluidstream.eu, an address three other entries in Italy use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Their address is radioitalianetwork.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
