CCTV-4中文国际美洲伴音

Out of 391 entries in China, this one ranks 72. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

CCTV-4中文国际美洲伴音 leads with news, a tag 47 other stations in China use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

The directory carries no bitrate for CCTV-4中文国际美洲伴音. 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.

35 of China's entries are served from piccpndali.v.myalicdn.com, 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.
