Retro FM Skåne

This is one of the quieter entries in Sweden's listing, at 58 of 94. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With two recorded opens, Retro FM Skåne sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Sweden's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Two stations in Sweden lead with the tag oldies, and Retro FM Skåne is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The stream is 96 kbps where Sweden's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Where Sweden's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from live-bauerse-fm.sharp-stream.com, an address four other entries in Sweden use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
