AikosRadio

AikosRadio is deep in China's listing, at 252 of 391. 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.

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

Broadcasting in Chinese, alongside most of China's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

At 48 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on China's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

30 of China's entries are served from stream.zeno.fm, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Their address is zeno.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
