Onda Cero Granada

Position 72 of 487 in Spain. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

News is one of Spain's headline genres in this directory, and Onda Cero Granada is one of 16 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Spain overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

17 of Spain's entries are served from atres-live.ondacero.es, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
