Triple R 102.7FM

Triple R 102.7FM 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.

No opens have been recorded against Triple R 102.7FM in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Triple R 102.7FM shares its leading tag, community radio, with two other Australia entries. Across every country the directory has 50 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The directory carries no bitrate for Triple R 102.7FM. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Australia's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served from ondemand.rrr.org.au, 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.
