Francais dans le monde

This is one of the quieter entries in France's listing, at 432 of 710. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The open count against Francais dans le monde 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.

Among 710 stations in France here, this is the only one that puts general first. The general rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of France's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream address on this entry points at listen.radioking.com, which is where 33 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.
