RTE 2 FM

RTE 2 FM is at position 15 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.

RTE 2 FM has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Ireland on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The encode is 160 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Ireland's listing without being one of its outliers.

The stream is served from icecast.rte.ie, 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 rte.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.
