MR2 - Petőfi Rádió

This is one of the quieter entries in Hungary's listing, at 86 of 118. 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 MR2 - Petőfi Rádió is two, 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.

Among 118 stations in Hungary here, this is the only one that puts hungarian pop music first. The hungarian pop music rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

MR2 - Petőfi Rádió streams at 128 kbps, under Hungary's median of 160 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

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.
