Radio 5 Alicante

Radio 5 Alicante is at 166 in a listing of 487. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

With four recorded opens, Radio 5 Alicante sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Spain's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Radio 5 Alicante shares its leading tag, general, with two other Spain entries. Across every country the directory has 9 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

Where Spain's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

Its audio comes from f141.rndfnk.com. One other station in Spain streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Radio 5 Alicante keeps its own site at rtve.es. The address sits under Spain's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
