Focus FM 103.6

Focus FM 103.6 ranks 18 among 320 stations in Greece. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Greece's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes from ice.greekstream.net. One other station in Greece streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The broadcaster publishes at focusfm.gr, on Greece's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
