Ozzy Osbourne

At position 441 of 466, this is one of the stations in the United Kingdom 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.

No opens have been recorded against Ozzy Osbourne in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

The audio comes from stream.pcradio.ru, and 9 other stations in the United Kingdom 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 the United Kingdom's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The station's site is at pcradio.ru, which sits under the .ru country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.

The nearest thing to this entry in United Kingdom is The Prodigy. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. On recorded opens this entry sits lower in the country list than the other one does. Listeners have left one hundred and ninety-three votes against this entry in the catalogue and one hundred and seventy-two against the other.
