Instrumental Jazz

Out of 471 entries in Russia, this one ranks 29. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 21 recorded opens, Instrumental Jazz is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

The instrumental corner of Russia's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The stream is served from jfm1.hostingradio.ru:14536, 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.

Instrumental Jazz keeps its own site at radiojazzfm.ru. The address sits under Russia's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
