106.5 Kiss FM

Out of 125 entries in Ukraine, this one ranks 11. 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.

This is a English station in a country whose directory presence is led by Ukrainian. 15 entries in Ukraine broadcast in English, which is a small group and a coherent one, and browsing it is a different experience from browsing the country.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

Tagged dance, along with 9 other stations in the country and 270 across the directory.

Across every country, 106.5 Kiss FM is 19 of the 270 stations leading with dance, by the same open count the country list uses.

The encode is 320 kbps against a country median of 192. Comfortably above the middle of Ukraine's listing without being one of its outliers.

The stream is served from online.kissfm.ua, an address five other entries in Ukraine use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
