Metro FM

Metro FM is one of Turkey's best-known pop stations, playing international and Turkish hits. The programme is centred on English-language and international pop, dance and rock tracks that are popular in Turkey, with a selection of Turkish songs, and it is known for its lively presenters, morning shows and music events. It has a long history on the Turkish airwaves and is associated with a cosmopolitan, urban audience in cities such as Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.

The stream is delivered through the StreamTheWorld platform, which is used by many commercial radio brands to distribute their programmes online. For Turks living abroad and fans of Turkish radio elsewhere, an online stream is a convenient way to follow the country's pop scene, and for learners of Turkish it is an accessible source of everyday language between the songs. As a commercial service, it may carry advertising and promotional messages between songs and programmes. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 64 kbps, a low bitrate that keeps data use small and is adequate for casual listening, although the sound is less detailed than on higher-bitrate streams. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
