Сказочное

This is one of the quieter entries in Russia's listing, at 386 of 471. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, Сказочное 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.

Сказочное leads with поп-музыка, a tag 15 other stations in Russia use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

At 320 kbps, Сказочное streams at more than double Russia's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from listen6.myradio24.com, an address unique to this entry in Russia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
