Михаил Боярский (Mikhail Boyarsky)

Михаил Боярский (Mikhail Boyarsky) sits at 248 of 471 in Russia's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With three recorded opens, Михаил Боярский (Mikhail Boyarsky) sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Russia's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

6 stations in Russia lead with 64kbps and Михаил Боярский (Mikhail Boyarsky) is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 9 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Russia.

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 srv02.gpmradio.ru:8443. One other station in Russia streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
