Phish Radio

Phish Radio is deep in Albania's listing, at 16 of 22. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

This is a English station in a country whose directory presence is led by Albanian. Four entries in Albania broadcast in English, which is a small group and a coherent one, and browsing it is a different experience from browsing the country.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Nothing else in Albania's listing leads with jambands. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Albania's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.
