917TheWave

Rank 117 of 140 in Australia. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The directory records no opens at all for 917TheWave. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

Its audio comes straight from tls3.coastdev.net, an address unique to this entry in Australia'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.
