RadioRat separates community directory data, automated discovery tools, and original product content so listeners can understand what they are seeing.
OPEN THE RECEIVER ↗Names, stream URLs, countries, languages, tags, votes, codecs, bitrates, and coordinates originate primarily from the Radio Browser community directory. RadioRat normalizes this information for display but does not independently verify every listing.
Popular and Global Pulse views use public directory signals such as votes and recent attention. Nearby uses geographic distance. Journeys are assembled from eligible, healthy, geographically distinct stations. Placement is not sold and is not an editorial endorsement.
RadioRat’s interface text, product explanations, historical country stories, accessibility guidance, and policy pages are written for this service. Sources are linked where a historical chapter relies on external references.
Broadcasters and listeners can report incorrect metadata, broken streams, rights concerns, or inappropriate listings through Contact. Include enough identifying information for the report to be investigated. Upstream directory corrections may also be required.
Support and any future advertising help fund operation of the service. They do not purchase station placement, change journey eligibility, or influence how a broadcaster is described. Advertisements, if enabled, will be visually distinguishable from application controls and editorial content.
