Zaman FM

Zaman FM is at 20 in a listing of 52. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Zaman FM broadcasts in Arabic, which is the language most of Algeria's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records four languages in total, so the Arabic stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

Its audio comes straight from radiozamen.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.
