Radio Saïda

In Algeria's ordering this is number 28 of 52, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Local radio is one of Algeria's headline genres in this directory, and Radio Saïda is one of 27 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

On the same tag worldwide it is 10 of 52, which is inside the top quarter of every local radio station the directory carries.

The directory carries no bitrate for Radio Saïda. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Algeria's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

Its audio comes straight from radiosaida.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.
