RGS Radio Giornale di Sicilia

RGS Radio Giornale di Sicilia 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.

No opens have been recorded against RGS Radio Giornale di Sicilia in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

A hits station on a dial where hits is one of the commonest tags: 14 entries in Italy lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Italy's broadcasters describe themselves.

Its audio comes straight from onair15.xdevel.com, 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.

The broadcaster publishes at rgs.gds.it, on Italy's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
