PBS 106.7FM

In Australia's ordering this is number 81 of 140, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against PBS 106.7FM is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

PBS 106.7FM shares its leading tag, australian music, with one other Australia entry. Across every country the directory has 2 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Australia's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 11 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.
