BRTV北京城市广播

This is one of the quieter entries in China's listing, at 254 of 391. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

A information station on a dial where information is one of the commonest tags: 19 entries in China lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how China's broadcasters describe themselves.

The directory carries no bitrate for BRTV北京城市广播. 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.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

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.
