The Funky Channel

At position 104 of 122, this is one of the stations in Belgium that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

With one recorded open, The Funky Channel sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Belgium's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The directory records no language for The Funky Channel. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

The Funky Channel streams at 192 kbps, above Belgium's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 61% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes straight from cast3.asurahosting.com, an address unique to this entry in Belgium's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
