KISS FM

Near the top of Spain's list, at 2 of 487. Positions this high tend to be stable between snapshots, which is more than can be said for the middle of a long national listing.

The open count here is 174, a figure only a few hundred stations in the whole directory reach. It is a fair signal that the stream is reliable as well as popular, because a dead stream stops accumulating opens quickly once clients start failing on it.

4 stations in Spain lead with 2000s and KISS FM is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 73 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Spain.

On the same tag worldwide it is 1 of 73, which is inside the top quarter of every 2000s station the directory carries.

At 56 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Spain's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream is served from adhandler.kissfmradio.cires21.com, an address three 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.
