Curtin Radio - A lifetime of music

Out of 140 entries in Australia, this one ranks 34. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The station's leading tag is adult contemporary, shared with 3 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.

Across every country, Curtin Radio - A lifetime of music is 22 of the 126 stations leading with adult contemporary, by the same open count the country list uses.

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.

The stream is served from usa7.fastcast4u.com, which no other entry in Australia uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
