Wawa Radio 101.2 FM

Wawa Radio 101.2 FM sits at 202 of 391 in China's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

China carries 11 English stations in the directory against a Chinese majority. Wawa Radio 101.2 FM is one of them, and the pairing of language and country is the fact that distinguishes it from the rest of the national list.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Nothing else in China's listing leads with dance. 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 stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for China. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from xn--tmz.xn--6frz82g, which no other entry in China uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
