KRadio 若望三電台

In China's ordering this is number 200 of 391, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against KRadio 若望三電台 is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 34 entries in China broadcast in Cantonese, against a listing whose commonest language is Chinese.

Where else Cantonese is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly Hong Kong SAR China, Australia and Macao SAR China. The shelf lists all 65 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

30 of China's entries are served from stream.zeno.fm, 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.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is 中山环保旅游之声·快乐888, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The other entry records Kwangtung as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. The two streams are served from different addresses, stream.zeno.fm for this one and lhttp.qingting.fm for the other. A bitrate is recorded against this stream and none against the other, so only one of the two pages can draw the meter. The broadcaster tagged this entry music, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the entertainment tag and this one does not.
