湖州综合广播

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

湖州综合广播 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.

湖州综合广播 leads with news, a tag 47 other stations in China use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

The directory carries no bitrate for 湖州综合广播. 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 stream address on this entry points at lhttp.qingting.fm, which is where 46 other stations in China are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is 绵阳综合广播, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Zhejiang, that one under Szechuan. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp.qingting.fm for this one and lhttp.qtfm.cn for the other. The other entry carries the full service and storytelling tags and this one does not.
