ABC Radio National QLD HLS

ABC Radio National QLD HLS sits at 61 of 140 in Australia's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With three recorded opens, ABC Radio National QLD HLS sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Australia's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The station's leading tag is abc, shared with 7 other entries in Australia. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The stream address on this entry points at mediaserviceslive.akamaized.net, which is where 27 other stations in Australia are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

ABC Radio National QLD HLS and 612 ABC Brisbane are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. The other entry records Queensland as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. The two streams are served from different addresses, mediaserviceslive.akamaized.net for this one and streaming.abc-cdn.net.au for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry abc, information and talk, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the local, local information, local news, local radio, local talk and news talk tags and this one does not.
