radio Maia

Rank 68 of 71 in Bulgaria. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

radio Maia has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

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.

At 320 kbps, radio Maia streams at more than double Bulgaria's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from radio.rn-tv.com:8000, an address unique to this entry in Bulgaria'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.
