Radio Ici & Maintenant

Radio Ici & Maintenant is at 290 in a listing of 710. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Nothing else in France's listing leads with cultural. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on France's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Where France's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from s64.radiolize.com, which no other entry in France uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
