Real FM

This is one of the quieter entries in Greece's listing, at 291 of 320. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

Real FM has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Real FM is the only station in Greece whose first tag is talk & speech, out of 320 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Greece does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only talk & speech station.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Greece's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

Its audio comes straight from realfm2.live24.gr, an address unique to this entry in Greece's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
