Radio Alpa

Radio Alpa ranks 116 among 710 stations in France. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Radio Alpa broadcasts in French, which is the language most of France's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the French stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

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

Across every country, Radio Alpa is 12 of the 45 stations leading with deep house, by the same open count the country list uses.

192 kbps, which puts Radio Alpa above the 128 kbps that a typical entry in France runs at.

Its audio comes straight from radioalpa1073.ice.infomaniak.ch, 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.
