Mega 80s

Mega 80s sits in the tail of Germany's 1,409 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

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.

Mega 80s streams at 48 kbps against Germany's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 62% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Mega 80s streams in AAC+ while most of Germany's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Mega 80s streams from megaradio.stream20.radiohost.de. No other station in Germany is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
