RTL 102.5 news is at 186 in a listing of 400. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.
A news station on a dial where news is one of the commonest tags: 9 entries in Italy lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Italy's broadcasters describe themselves.
The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Italy's listing without being one of its outliers.
RTL 102.5 news streams in AAC while most of Italy's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.
RTL 102.5 news publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
Its audio comes from dd782ed59e2a4e86aabf6fc508674b59.msvdn.net. Four other stations in Italy stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
