北京新闻广播

The name breaks into two halves. Beijing is the place, and news 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.

Position 55 of 391 in China. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

Nothing else in China's listing leads with 94.5. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The directory carries no bitrate for 北京新闻广播. 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.

90 of China's entries are served from lhttp.qtfm.cn, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

北京新闻广播 and 周口综合广播 are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. This entry's name carries a place in it, Beijing, where the other's does not. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says news radio and that one says general broadcasting. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Beijing, that one under Honan. The broadcaster tagged this entry 94.5, 94.5 fm and am828, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the 96.0, 96.0 fm, entertainment, information, music, pop and talk tags and this one does not.
