Couleurs JAZZ

In France's ordering this is number 250 of 710, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

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

The directory records no language for Couleurs JAZZ. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

320 kbps against France's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 74% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

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.
