Classic Gold Radio

Classic Gold Radio sits in the tail of Ireland's 75 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Twice the local median and then some: 256 kbps where Ireland's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The stream is served from live.btsstream.com, which no other entry in Ireland uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

Their site is classicgoldradio.ie, a domain registered in Ireland. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
