RNE - R5 --> Madrid

The directory lists two streams in Spain under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number five. Nothing here is taken from the other one.

Position 48 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.

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.

RNE - R5 --> Madrid streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Spain's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 76% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes from d121.rndfnk.com. Four other stations in Spain stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

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.
