Ondacero Badajo

Among the 487 stations in Spain with pages, Ondacero Badajo is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

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.

The stream address on this entry points at atres-live.ondacero.es, which is where 16 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.

The nearest thing to this entry in Spain is Onda Cero Gijón. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Badajoz, that one under Asturias.
