In Australia's listing ABC Radio Melbourne lands at 33 of 140, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.
ABC Radio Melbourne leads with news, a tag 7 other stations in Australia use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.
AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.
The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
28 of Australia's entries are served from mediaserviceslive.akamaized.net, 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.

ABC Radio Melbourne is one of 380 playable stations the catalogue lists in Australia, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by ABC Radio Melbourne. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.abc.net.au.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
