Classics Radio

This is one of the quieter entries in the Netherlands' listing, at 269 of 302. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The directory records no opens at all for Classics Radio. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

Classics Radio broadcasts in English from the Netherlands. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Dutch leads, but not a small one: 89 stations in the Netherlands in the directory carry English, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Classics Radio streams at 128 kbps, under the Netherlands' median of 192 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.
