Echo FM

Echo FM is at 420 in a listing of 710. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against Echo FM is one, 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.

Echo FM broadcasts in French, which is the language most of France's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the French stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Echo FM shares its leading tag, local news, with one other France entry. Across every country the directory has 95 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The stream is served from radio5.pro-fhi.net, which no other entry in France 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.

Echo FM keeps its own site at echo-fm.fr. The address sits under France's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
