Up Radio

This is one of the quieter entries in Greece's listing, at 213 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.

The open count against Up Radio is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The encode is 192 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.

Its audio comes straight from athensupradio.evostream.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.
