M80 Rádio - Dance

In Portugal's ordering this is number 31 of 105, 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.

The open count against M80 Rádio - Dance is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The station's leading tag is 70s, shared with 4 other entries in Portugal. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

20 of Portugal's entries are served from stream-icy.bauermedia.pt, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Of everything the directory lists in Portugal, the entry this page reads closest to is M80 Rádio - 70s, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: eighty here and the seventies there. The broadcaster tagged this entry 90s and dance, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the pop tag and this one does not.
