FinEst Radio

In Estonia's ordering this is number 20 of 34, 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.

Two 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.

The directory records no language for FinEst Radio. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

FinEst Radio streams at 192 kbps, under Estonia's median of 256 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

FinEst Radio streams from shoutcast.finestfm.fi. No other station in Estonia is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

The station's site is at finestfm.fi, which sits under the .fi country domain rather than Estonia's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
