FM Disco Melody

Out of 125 entries in Ukraine, this one ranks 25. 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.

Disco is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Ukraine uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Worldwide it ranks 8 among 33 disco entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

At 128 kbps, this sits below most of Ukraine's listing, whose median is 192 kbps. 85% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

Its audio comes from online.melodiafm.ua. One other station in Ukraine streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
