Радио Монте Карло

Read as words rather than as a brand, the name says radio. That is the broadcaster's own description of the service, written in Cyrillic, and it is more specific than the tags the entry carries.

Out of 471 entries in Russia, this one ranks 52. 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.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

Its audio comes from montecarlo.hostingradio.ru. Two other stations in Russia stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
