Astra Radio

In Czechia's ordering this is number 38 of 74, 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.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Astra Radio has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Czechia on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

192 kbps, which puts Astra Radio above the 128 kbps that a typical entry in Czechia runs at.

Where Czechia's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from icecast.astraradio.cz, which no other entry in Czechia 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.
