Вести ФМ Липецк 90.3 FM

Вести ФМ Липецк 90.3 FM sits in the tail of Russia's 471 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Вести ФМ Липецк 90.3 FM 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.

Army is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Russia uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Вести ФМ Липецк 90.3 FM streams at 36 kbps against Russia's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 53% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

11 of Russia's entries are served from icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
