ERT 80s

ERT 80s sits in the tail of Greece's 320 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.

No opens have been recorded against ERT 80s in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

The directory records no language for ERT 80s. 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.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Greece. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The audio comes from radiostreaming.ert.gr, and 15 other stations in Greece are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Greece's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
