DFM POP GOLD 2000s

DFM POP GOLD 2000s sits at 270 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 two recorded opens, DFM POP GOLD 2000s 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.

Two stations in Russia lead with the tag 00s, and DFM POP GOLD 2000s is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

DFM POP GOLD 2000s streams at 96 kbps, under Russia's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream is served from dfm-popgold00.hostingradio.ru, which no other entry in Russia uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
