北京文艺广播

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

北京文艺广播 is at position 69 of the 391 stations in China with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

Nothing else in China's listing leads with 87.6. 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.

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.

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.

北京文艺广播 and 昆明综合广播 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. The names say where each one is: this one names Beijing and the other names Kunming. Read as words rather than as a brand, this name says arts radio and that one says general broadcasting. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Beijing, that one under Yunnan. The broadcaster tagged this entry 87.6, 87.6 fm and entertainment, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the full service, news and talk tags and this one does not.
