BRTV北京交通广播

Position 90 of 391 in China. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

BRTV北京交通广播 shares its leading tag, traffic radio broadcast, with two other China entries. Across every country the directory has 3 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The directory carries no bitrate for BRTV北京交通广播. 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. China's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

BRTV北京交通广播 publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

The stream is served from brtv-radiolive.rbc.cn, an address four other entries in China use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is BRTV北京文艺广播, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says traffic radio and that one says arts radio. The broadcaster tagged this entry traffic radio broadcast, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the crosstalk, easy listening and entertainment tags and this one does not.
