Чайф

Position 193 of 471 puts this station in the middle of Russia's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

With four recorded opens, Чайф 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.

Чайф leads with discography, 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.

On the same tag worldwide it is 11 of 46, which is inside the top quarter of every discography station the directory carries.

Чайф reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

The audio comes from stream02.pcradio.app, and 19 other stations in Russia are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Russia's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Of everything the directory lists in Russia, the entry this page reads closest to is Виктор Цой (Кино), so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The other entry records Кино as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. On recorded opens this entry sits higher in the country list than the other one does. Listeners have left ten votes against this entry in the catalogue and fifty-three against the other.
