Galaxie Corse

This is one of the quieter entries in France's listing, at 437 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.

With one recorded open, Galaxie Corse 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.

18 stations in France lead with hits and Galaxie Corse is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 114 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past France.

At 320 kbps, Galaxie Corse streams at more than double France's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from ecmanager4.pro-fhi.net:2680, an address unique to this entry in France's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
