Onic Gold

Onic Gold 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.

Onic Gold has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Among 75 stations in Ireland here, this is the only one that puts gold first. The gold rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

The stream is served from live.onic.ie, an address two 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.

Their site is onic.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.
