RNE - R1 --> Madrid

RNE - R1 --> Madrid is one of two entries in Spain whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is one. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

RNE - R1 --> Madrid is at position 9 of the 487 stations in Spain with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The directory counts 64 opens against this stream. That is well above Spain's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

The stream is served from d121.rndfnk.com, an address four 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.

The broadcaster publishes at rtve.es, on Spain's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
