Radio Laghouat

Radio Laghouat sits in the tail of Algeria's 52 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With two recorded opens, Radio Laghouat sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Algeria's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

A local radio station on a dial where local radio is one of the commonest tags: 27 entries in Algeria lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Algeria's broadcasters describe themselves.

Radio Laghouat reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

Its audio comes straight from radiolaghouat.ice.infomaniak.ch, an address unique to this entry in Algeria's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

The broadcaster publishes at my.radioalgerie.dz, on Algeria's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
