Radio Gaia

This is one of the quieter entries in Switzerland's listing, at 122 of 126. 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.

Radio Gaia 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.

Radio Gaia shares its leading tag, chillout, with one other Switzerland entry. Across every country the directory has 66 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

Twice the local median and then some: 256 kbps where Switzerland's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

11 of Switzerland's entries are served from strm112.1.fm, 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.

Their address is 1.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
