Read full descriptionHide full description
Varia staat voor variatie in de muziek, mede door, variatie in de verschillende stations. Onze hoofdgenre is natuurlijk piratenmuziek. Maar, uiteraard, zijn we ook niet vreemd van Polka's, Country, Schlagers of de nieuwere nl hit. En de zondagmorgen is bestemd voor nederlandstalige gospelliedjes. We zijn elke avond live plaatjes aan het draaien en vanaf de woensdagmiddag is het gewoon marathon bij Variafm! Met de hits die je verwacht van een "piraat" maar ook hits die je niet verwacht. Kortom... VARIAtie alom!! En is er live even geen piraat op... dan luister je naar Varia Non-Stop!! Dus luister gezellig met ons mee!! Vriendelijk groet, Varia FM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Varia FM at none against The Reading Corner's 2. Varia FM also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). The Reading Corner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
