Radio Bro Gwened

Radio Bro Gwened sits in the tail of France's 710 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With one recorded open, Radio Bro Gwened 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.

Radio Bro Gwened has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in France on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

At 256 kbps, Radio Bro Gwened 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.

The stream is served from stream.radios.bzh, an address four other entries in France use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
