商丘交通广播

商丘交通广播 says traffic radio 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.

商丘交通广播 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.

A news station on a dial where news is one of the commonest tags: 47 entries in China lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how China's broadcasters describe themselves.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

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.
