CCTV农业节目伴音

Position 123 of 391 puts this station in the middle of China's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

CCTV农业节目伴音 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 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.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is 江西旅游广播, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The other entry's name carries a place in it, Jiangxi, and this one's does not. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says the audio feed and that one says travel radio. The two streams are served from different addresses, piccpndali.v.myalicdn.com for this one and fm-live-pull.jxtvcn.com.cn for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry culture, which the other entry is not tagged with. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, cctv.com and jxntv.cn.
