Radio Nova

Radio Nova sits second among the 70 stations in Finland with pages here, close enough to the head of the list that most people browsing the country reach it early.

Radio Nova has 28 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

Radio Nova leads with pop, a tag 6 other stations in Finland use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

On the same tag worldwide it is 16 of 343, which is inside the top quarter of every pop station the directory carries.

At 63 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Finland's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream address on this entry points at stream-redirect.bauermedia.fi, which is where 8 other stations in Finland are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
