FM 103.9 A Rock

Position 63 of 118 puts this station in the middle of Hungary's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

With three recorded opens, FM 103.9 A Rock sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Hungary's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Only two entries in Hungary put rock first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

At 320 kbps, FM 103.9 A Rock streams at more than double Hungary's median of 160 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from stream.rockradio.hu, an address unique to this entry in Hungary'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.
