ABC Radio National SA HLS

ABC Radio National SA HLS is at 75 in a listing of 140. 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.

With two recorded opens, ABC Radio National SA 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 stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The audio comes from mediaserviceslive.akamaized.net, and 27 other stations in Australia are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Australia's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
