Radio Retro

Radio Retro is deep in Peru's listing, at 87 of 119. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Radio Retro broadcasts in Spanish, which is the language most of Peru's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records five languages in total, so the Spanish stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Three stations in Peru lead with the tag 80s, and Radio Retro is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Peru. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Its audio comes straight from stream2.eistreaming.com, an address unique to this entry in Peru'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.
