ICI NORD

ICI NORD is at position 93 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.

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

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.

ICI NORD publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

The stream address on this entry points at stream.radiofrance.fr, which is where 35 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.

ICI NORD and FranceCulture are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. The broadcaster tagged this entry régionale, which the other entry is not tagged with. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, francebleu.fr and radiofrance.fr.
