Classic FM Calm

Out of 466 entries in the United Kingdom, this one ranks 20. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Classic FM Calm has 36 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

Tagged classical, along with 8 other stations in the country and 242 across the directory.

Across every country, Classic FM Calm is 5 of the 242 stations leading with classical, by the same open count the country list uses.

The audio comes from media-ice.musicradio.com, and 16 other stations in the United Kingdom are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United Kingdom's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
