绵阳综合广播

Read as words rather than as a brand, the name says general broadcasting. That is the broadcaster's own description of the service, written in Chinese characters, and it is more specific than the tags the entry carries.

绵阳综合广播 sits in the tail of China's 391 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

绵阳综合广播 leads with full service, a tag 27 other stations in China use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

The directory carries no bitrate for 绵阳综合广播. 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.

The audio comes from lhttp.qtfm.cn, and 89 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 湖州综合广播, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Szechuan, that one under Zhejiang. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp.qtfm.cn for this one and lhttp.qingting.fm for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry full service and storytelling, which the other entry is not tagged with.
