World Buddhist Radio

World Buddhist Radio is deep in Australia's listing, at 111 of 140. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Buddhism is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Australia uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

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.

The stream is served from 26343.live.streamtheworld.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.

Their site is bdcu.org.au, a domain registered in Australia. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
