Radio Sportiva

Radio Sportiva is at position 13 of the 400 stations in Italy with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

At 52 recorded opens, Radio Sportiva is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Radio Sportiva shares its leading tag, sport, with one other Italy entry. Across every country the directory has 9 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

At 36 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Italy's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Radio Sportiva 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.
