RSC Radio Studio Centrale

This is one of the quieter entries in Italy's listing, at 394 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.

No opens have been recorded against RSC Radio Studio Centrale 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.

Tagged pop music, along with 5 other stations in the country and 47 across the directory.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Italy. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Its audio comes straight from stream.studiocentrale.it, 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.

Their site is studiocentrale.it, a domain registered in Italy. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
