BestFM

In Slovakia's ordering this is number 24 of 42, 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.

Two recorded opens 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.

BestFM has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Slovakia on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The encode is 160 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Slovakia's listing without being one of its outliers.

Where Slovakia's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from stream3.bestfm.sk:8000, an address one other entry in Slovakia uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
