The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
In China's listing CGTN - English lands at 40 of 391, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.
CGTN - English broadcasts in English from China, one of 11 stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Chinese, so these 11 entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.
Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.
CGTN - English is the only station in China whose first tag is documentaries, out of 391 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in China does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only documentaries station.
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.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by CGTN - English. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.cgtn.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
