96.7 2HGR Hume Radio

Position 25 of 140 in Australia. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

English is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six Australia's listing records.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Australia's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

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 stream.2ghr.org.au:8000, 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.

The broadcaster publishes at 2ghr.org.au, on Australia'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.
