Radio Monte Carlo - Bossa Nova

Radio Monte Carlo - Bossa Nova sits at 223 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.

The open count against Radio Monte Carlo - Bossa Nova is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Among 471 stations in Russia here, this is the only one that puts bossa first. The bossa rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

Radio Monte Carlo - Bossa Nova 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.

Its audio comes from mc-mcbossa.hostingradio.ru. 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.
