Ретро FM Рига (Retro FM)

In Latvia's ordering this is number 10 of 28, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Ретро FM Рига (Retro FM) broadcasts in Russian from Latvia, one of six stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Latvian, so these six entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

The Russian shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's Russian entries are concentrated in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Ретро FM Рига (Retro FM) is the only station in Latvia whose first tag is classic hits, out of 28 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Latvia does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only classic hits station.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Latvia's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 64% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.
