乌鲁木齐维语广播

Set out word by word, 乌鲁木齐 is Urumqi, 广播 is broadcasting and 维语 is Uyghur. That is the whole of the name, and it means the heading on this page is doing the work a genre tag usually has to do elsewhere in China.

Rank 273 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.

China carries five Uyghur stations in the directory against a Chinese majority. 乌鲁木齐维语广播 is one of them, and the pairing of language and country is the fact that distinguishes it from the rest of the national list.

Uyghur is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

The audio comes from lhttp.qtfm.cn, and 89 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.
