CCTV-5+体育赛事伴音

Among the 391 stations in China with pages, CCTV-5+体育赛事伴音 is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

Only two entries in China put sport first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The directory carries no bitrate for CCTV-5+体育赛事伴音. 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.

The audio comes from piccpndali.v.myalicdn.com, and 34 other stations in China are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of China's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The nearest thing to this entry in China is CCTV-13新闻伴音. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says sport and the audio feed and that one says news and the audio feed. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: five here and thirteen there. The broadcaster tagged this entry sport and sports, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the tv tag and this one does not. On recorded opens this entry sits lower in the country list than the other one does.
