Радио Москвы

Радио Москвы says radio in Cyrillic. A name that describes its own programming is worth reading rather than skipping, because it is a fact stated by the broadcaster rather than a tag added by whoever filed the entry into Russia's listing.

At position 376 of 471, this is one of the stations in Russia that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

The open count against Радио Москвы is one, 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.

The station's leading tag is news, shared with 12 other entries in Russia. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

11 of Russia's entries are served from icecast-vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
