Kiss

Kiss sits at 35 of 70 in Finland'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.

With three recorded opens, Kiss sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Finland's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Pop is one of Finland's headline genres in this directory, and Kiss is one of 6 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

The gap here is large: 63 kbps where Finland's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream address on this entry points at stream-redirect.bauermedia.fi, which is where 8 other stations in Finland are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
