Virgin Radio Hard Rock

At position 331 of 400, this is one of the stations in Italy that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Virgin Radio Hard Rock broadcasts in English from Italy. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Italian leads, but not a small one: 52 stations in Italy in the directory carry English, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Among 400 stations in Italy here, this is the only one that puts alternative first. The alternative rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The audio comes from icy.unitedradio.it, and 32 other stations in Italy are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Italy's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
