台山五邑旅游频道

台山五邑旅游频道 says channel and travel 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.

At position 288 of 391, this is one of the stations in China that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

The directory carries no bitrate for 台山五邑旅游频道. 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 stream address on this entry points at lhttp.qingting.fm, which is where 46 other stations in China are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is 南通综合广播, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says channel and travel and that one says general broadcasting. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Kwangtung, that one under Kiangsu. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp.qingting.fm for this one and lhttp.qtfm.cn for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry music, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the 97.0, 97.0 fm, information and public radio tags and this one does not.
