Retro FM

Rank 18 of 28 in Latvia. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

With one recorded open, Retro FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Latvia's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Encoded as MP3, one of the four formats Latvia's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

Its audio comes straight from 23613.live.streamtheworld.com, an address unique to this entry in Latvia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

Retro FM keeps its own site at retrofm.lv. The address sits under Latvia's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
