esRadio

Out of 487 entries in Spain, this one ranks 61. 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.

The station's language is Spanish, the commonest of the six the directory records for Spain. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Spanish shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

A news station on a dial where news is one of the commonest tags: 16 entries in Spain lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Spain's broadcasters describe themselves.

On the same tag worldwide it is 73 of 307, which is inside the top quarter of every news station the directory carries.

esRadio 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.
