Tampereen Kiakkoradio: Tappara

Among the 70 stations in Finland with pages, Tampereen Kiakkoradio: Tappara is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

The open count against Tampereen Kiakkoradio: Tappara is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Tampereen Kiakkoradio: Tappara streams at 64 kbps against Finland's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Finland's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The stream is served from st.downtime.fi, which no other entry in Finland 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.
