EBC Radio 104.7 Addis Abeba

At position 13 of 20, this is one of the stations in Ethiopia 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.

Four recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The interesting fact about this entry is the pairing. Arabic is not what Ethiopia's dial mostly speaks, and the directory has one Arabic station registered in the country against a majority of Amharic.

Arabic radio in this directory sits largely in Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Morocco, with 199 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

The stream is served from stream-25.zeno.fm, which no other entry in Ethiopia 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 broadcaster publishes at ebc.et, on Ethiopia's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
