Пилот FM

Пилот FM is deep in Russia's listing, at 454 of 471. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

No opens have been recorded against Пилот 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.

Three stations in Russia lead with the tag pop music, and Пилот FM 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.

The directory carries no bitrate for Пилот FM. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Russia's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served from online.pilotfm.ru, an address one other entry in Russia uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
