ДДТ

ДДТ is at 143 in a listing of 471. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Only two entries in Russia put 101.ru first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Russia's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

Its audio comes from pub0101.101.ru. Six other stations in Russia stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The broadcaster publishes at 101.ru, on Russia'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.
