SONS iradio

SONS iradio sits in the tail of Spain's 487 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

SONS iradio has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

SONS iradio broadcasts in Galician from Spain, one of 15 stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Spanish, so these 15 entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

Galician is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

320 kbps against Spain's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 76% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.
