广西交通广播

广西交通广播 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.

广西交通广播 is at 115 in a listing of 391. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

广西交通广播 shares its leading tag, traffic radio broadcast, with two other China entries. Across every country the directory has 3 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The directory carries no bitrate for 广西交通广播. 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.

66 of China's entries are served from lhttp-hw.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.

Of everything the directory lists in China, the entry this page reads closest to is 温州音乐之声, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says traffic radio and that one says the voice of music. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Kwangsi, that one under Chekiang. The two streams are served from different addresses, lhttp-hw.qtfm.cn for this one and lhttp.qtfm.cn for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry traffic radio broadcast, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the music tag and this one does not.
