Radio Metal On: The Thrasher

Radio Metal On: The Thrasher is deep in Portugal's listing, at 70 of 105. 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.

The metal corner of Portugal's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

Radio Metal On: The Thrasher 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.
