Museumsradio AM 1476

In Austria's ordering this is number 55 of 103, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Museumsradio AM 1476 is the only station in Austria whose first tag is international, out of 103 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Austria does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only international station.

256 kbps against Austria's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 59% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from museum.streamserver24.com:8080, which no other entry in Austria uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The broadcaster's own site is plattenkiste.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.
