PulsRadio Lounge

At position 498 of 710, this is one of the stations in France that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

The open count against PulsRadio Lounge 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.

France's directory presence is led by French, with 88 stations broadcasting in English behind it. PulsRadio Lounge is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of France's listing without being one of its outliers.

Its audio comes from icecast.pulsradio.com. One other station in France streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
