EsRadio Principal

Out of 487 entries in Spain, this one ranks 17. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 42 recorded opens, EsRadio Principal is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Among 487 stations in Spain here, this is the only one that puts magazines first. The magazines rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

EsRadio Principal streams at 56 kbps against Spain's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 76% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The stream is served from libertaddigital-radio-live1.flumotion.com, an address two other entries in Spain use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
