全国党员干部现代远程教育

Read as words rather than as a brand, the name says education. 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.

全国党员干部现代远程教育 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.

全国党员干部现代远程教育 shares its leading tag, public radio, with one other China entry. Across every country the directory has 30 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

900 kbps against China's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 9% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

Its audio comes straight from 12371wbndks.v.kcdnvip.com, an address unique to this entry in China's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
