佛冈电台

佛冈电台 says radio station in Chinese characters. A name that describes its own programming is worth reading rather than skipping, because it is a fact stated by the broadcaster rather than a tag added by whoever filed the entry into China's listing.

佛冈电台 sits at 208 of 391 in China's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Among 391 stations in China here, this is the only one that puts 98.0 first. The 98.0 rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The directory carries no bitrate for 佛冈电台. 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.

66 of China's entries are served from lhttp-hw.qtfm.cn, 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.

The nearest thing to this entry in China is 义乌新闻. 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 radio station and that one says news. The other entry records Zhejiang as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp-hw.qtfm.cn for this one and lhttp.qtfm.cn for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry 98.0 and music, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the 106.2 tag and this one does not.
