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.
Position 47 of 391 in China. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.
Language and country do not match up the obvious way here. CGTN Radio transmits from China, where Chinese leads the listing, and broadcasts in English, which 11 of the country's stations use.
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.
The country page counts news among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 47 entries in China behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 307 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.
On the same tag worldwide it is 65 of 307, which is inside the top quarter of every news station the directory carries.
CGTN Radio 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 stream is served from sk.cri.cn, an address two 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.
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 Radio. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at radio.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.
Keep CGTN Radio playing while you work
Streams like this one need a player that does more than a browser tab does. The Chrome extension carries 20,000+ stations, opens the formats a tab will not, and keeps playing while you get on with your work.
