Alternative Radio

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 55. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Alternative Radio has 21 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The station's leading tag is electro, shared with 10 other entries in France. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

The stream address on this entry points at radioking.com, which is where 10 other stations in France 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.
