About A Rock 103.9 FM
A Rock 103.9 FM is a Hungarian rock station, with guitar-driven music from several decades. The playlist mixes classic rock, hard rock and alternative with newer bands, presented by hosts who speak Hungarian in an informal style and talk about concerts, albums and the scene. The sound is loud and energetic, and the station serves fans who want rock without the pop mix of general-purpose networks.
Hungary has a busy radio market, with public stations from Duna Média, national commercial networks and many web channels, and Hungarian is a distinctive language unrelated to most of its neighbours. The internet lets Hungarians living abroad keep in touch with the music and voices of home. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 320 kbps, a very high bitrate that gives music a full, clean and detailed sound, particularly on good headphones or speakers, though it uses more data than typical streams. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
