Radio 5 RNE Almería

In Spain's ordering this is number 219 of 487, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

With three recorded opens, Radio 5 RNE Almería 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.

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.

The almería corner of Spain's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The stream is served from d131.rndfnk.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.

Their site is rtve.es, a domain registered in Spain. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
