Dublin's 98FM

Dublin's 98FM is one of four entries in Ireland whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is ninety-eight. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Dublin's 98FM is at position 7 of the 75 stations in Ireland with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

Dublin's 98FM is the only station in Ireland whose first tag is contemporary hits, out of 75 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Ireland does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only contemporary hits station.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Ireland's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream is served from stream.audioxi.com, an address three other entries in Ireland use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
