France Inter

France Inter is at position 4 of the 710 stations in France with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

With 626 opens recorded, this is one of the directory's heavily played streams. That is the strongest thing the public data says about any station, and it is still a measure of traffic through one directory rather than of audience.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

36 of France's entries are served from stream.radiofrance.fr, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Of everything the directory lists in France, the entry this page reads closest to is Écoutez Mon petit France Inter, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The other entry carries the kids and musiques des enfants tags and this one does not. On recorded opens this entry sits higher in the country list than the other one does. In the catalogue these are two separate records, 33960c43-0464-44b4-abfa-73591ebf647f and 71103f1e-b4df-4c10-ad42-f6ff3e5dae10, and the first of those is the one to quote if you write to us about this page.
