Which stations are there?
In each country, the most listened stations come first. They are grouped by genre: pop, news and talk, rock, dance and electronic, classical, jazz and blues. The station list for other countries comes from Radio Browser, an open directory of radio streams, and is refreshed every day.
Turkish radio has its own list of more than 100 stations, including TRT FM, Kral FM, Power FM and Süper FM. If a station has more than one stream address, tescast moves to the next one when a stream stops.
Favorites and recently played

- Stations from different countries can be in the same row.

What if a station does not start?
tescast tries the station's other stream addresses first. If none of them plays, you see a message on the screen. If the problem continues, tap Report a problem at the top right.
