Lainchan Radio Main

Lainchan Radio Main sits in the tail of Australia's 140 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With one recorded open, Lainchan Radio Main 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.

Lainchan Radio Main has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Australia on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

128 kbps matches Australia's median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

The stream is served from radio.lainchan.org, 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.
