Radio 357

Of the 228 stations in Poland with a page on this site, Radio 357 is the one the directory records the most opens for. That makes it the default entry point to the country, and it is where the country hub starts its own list.

Radio 357 is one of five entries in Poland whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is three hundred and fifty-seven. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Radio 357 carries 159 recorded opens in the public directory, which puts it among the small group of streams that directory clients open constantly. Counts at this level are rare: the great majority of the 14,425 stations with pages here are in single or double figures.

Radio 357 streams in AAC while most of Poland'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.

The stream is served from n-11-21.dcs.redcdn.pl, an address one other entry in Poland uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
