Radio Skylab Salento 98.6 FM

This is one of the quieter entries in Italy's listing, at 384 of 400. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

Radio Skylab Salento 98.6 FM 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.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Radio Skylab Salento 98.6 FM is the only station in Italy whose first tag is various music, out of 400 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Italy does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only various music station.

Its audio comes straight from ns333420.ip-37-187-126.eu:8443, 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.
