Bridge Radio - 华语 HITS （2

In China's listing Bridge Radio - 华语 HITS （2 lands at 45 of 391, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 34 entries in China broadcast in Cantonese, against a listing whose commonest language is Chinese.

Cantonese radio in this directory sits largely in Hong Kong SAR China, Australia and Macao SAR China, with 65 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Twice the local median and then some: 320 kbps where China's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for China overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The stream is served from das-edge11-live365-dal03.cdnstream.com, which no other entry in China 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.
