Radio Uylenspiegel

Radio Uylenspiegel 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.

No opens have been recorded against Radio Uylenspiegel in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Only two entries in France put folk first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

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.

The audio comes from listen.radioking.com, and 33 other stations in France are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of France's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
