Retro Rádió

Held against the 118 stations in Hungary on this site, this one is in the leading three. The order is the directory's count of stream opens rather than anybody's judgement, which is worth saying because a leading position on a list like this reflects habit as much as anything else.

The open count here is 102, a figure only a few hundred stations in the whole directory reach. It is a fair signal that the stream is reliable as well as popular, because a dead stream stops accumulating opens quickly once clients start failing on it.

Only three entries in Hungary put pop 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.

Across every country, Retro Rádió is 4 of the 343 stations leading with pop, by the same open count the country list uses.

The audio comes from icast.connectmedia.hu, and 13 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.
