义乌新闻

义乌新闻 says news 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.

Rank 270 of 391 in China. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

Among 391 stations in China here, this is the only one that puts 106.2 first. The 106.2 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 义乌新闻. 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.

90 of China's entries are served from lhttp.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.

义乌新闻 and 佛冈电台 are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says news and that one says radio station. This entry records Zhejiang as the region it transmits from, and the other records no region at all. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp.qtfm.cn for this one and lhttp-hw.qtfm.cn for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry 106.2, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the 98.0 and music tags and this one does not.
