Громадське радіо

Громадське радіо sits at 63 of 125 in Ukraine's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With three recorded opens, Громадське радіо sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Ukraine's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The stream is 128 kbps where Ukraine's median is 192. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Its audio comes straight from hromadske.radio, an address unique to this entry in Ukraine's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

The broadcaster's own site is hromadske.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
