Fresh 92.7

Fresh 92.7 ranks 23 among 140 stations in Australia. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Three stations in Australia lead with the tag community radio, and Fresh 92.7 is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

Across every country, Fresh 92.7 is 5 of the 50 stations leading with community radio, by the same open count the country list uses.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Australia's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Encoded as AAC, one of the three formats Australia's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

Its audio comes from live.fresh927.com.au. One other station in Australia streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
