MetalON - The Heavy

Rank 90 of 105 in Portugal. 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.

MetalON - The Heavy has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

MetalON - The Heavy is the only station in Portugal whose first tag is heavy metal, out of 105 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Portugal does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only heavy metal station.

MetalON - The Heavy streams at 192 kbps, above Portugal's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 78% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes from radiometalon.com. Two other stations in Portugal stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
