Авторадио Латвия

Авторадио Латвия sits second among the 28 stations in Latvia with pages here, close enough to the head of the list that most people browsing the country reach it early.

Language and country do not match up the obvious way here. Авторадио Латвия transmits from Latvia, where Latvian leads the listing, and broadcasts in Russian, which six of the country's stations use.

The Russian shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's Russian entries are concentrated in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Авторадио Латвия is the only station in Latvia whose first tag is pop, out of 28 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Latvia does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only pop station.

The stream is 96 kbps where Latvia's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.
