Radio Pulsar Katiola

At position 6 of 8, this is one of the stations in Côte d’Ivoire that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Radio Pulsar Katiola is the only station in Côte d’Ivoire whose first tag is generalist, out of 8 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Côte d’Ivoire does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only generalist station.

320 kbps against Côte d’Ivoire's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 90% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from stream10.vestaradio.com, which no other entry in Côte d’Ivoire 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.

The station's site is at radiopulsarkatiola.vestaradio.eu, which sits under the .eu country domain rather than Côte d’Ivoire's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
