MR1 - Kossuth Rádió

MR1 - Kossuth Rádió is at 51 in a listing of 118. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The country page counts news among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 4 entries in Hungary behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 307 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

MR1 - Kossuth Rádió streams at 64 kbps against Hungary's median of 160, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 82% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The audio comes from mr-stream.connectmedia.hu, and 8 other stations in Hungary 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 Hungary's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
