Cadena Ser + Ontiyent

One word in the name is ordinary Spanish rather than branding: Cadena is network. Worth a line for anyone reading a list of stations in a language they do not have.

Rank 414 of 487 in Spain. 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.

Cadena Ser + Ontiyent 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.

Tagged debates y deportes, along with 26 other stations in the country and 27 across the directory.

Cadena Ser + Ontiyent streams at 96 kbps, under Spain's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 57 other stations in Spain are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
