Mousikos 98,6

Mousikos 98,6 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 Mousikos 98,6 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 encode is 160 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Greece's listing without being one of its outliers.

Where Greece's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The audio comes from netradio.live24.gr, and 19 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.
