Among the 70 stations in Finland with pages, Yle Klassinen (HLS) is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.
Yle Klassinen (HLS) leads with classical, a tag 5 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.
The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Finland. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.
Yle Klassinen (HLS) publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
The stream is served from yleradiolive5.akamaized.net, which no other entry in Finland 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.

Yle Klassinen (HLS) is one of 94 playable stations the catalogue lists in Finland, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by Yle Klassinen (HLS). Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at areena.yle.fi.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
