Magic FM Gold

In Romania's ordering this is number 124 of 216, 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.

Broadcasting in English from Romania, alongside 58 other stations there doing the same. Romanian is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

Gold is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Romania uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

At 80 kbps, this sits below most of Romania's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 83% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

8 of Romania's entries are served from live.kissfm.ro, 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.
