北京交通广播

The name breaks into two halves. Beijing is the place, and traffic radio is the kind of service, so the entry describes itself before anything on this page does. The heading keeps the broadcaster's own spelling, in Chinese characters.

Out of 391 entries in China, this one ranks 51. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Among 391 stations in China here, this is the only one that puts 103.9 first. The 103.9 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 北京交通广播. 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.qingting.fm, and 46 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.
