Triple M Adelaide

Out of 140 entries in Australia, this one ranks 9. 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.

The 80s corner of Australia's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

Worldwide it ranks 15 among 131 80s entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

At 33 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Australia's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

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 from legacy.scahw.com.au, an address two other entries in Australia use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
