Alt Edge Radio

Alt Edge Radio sits in the tail of Sweden's 94 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.

Alt Edge Radio 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.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 56 entries in Sweden broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is Swedish.

The shelf for the language holds 5,984 stations, led by United States. A station like this one broadcasting from Sweden is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

Only two entries in Sweden put alternative first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

14 of Sweden's entries are served from mml2.prostream.se, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
