Xiberoko Botza Irratia

Xiberoko Botza Irratia is deep in France's listing, at 710 of 710. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

The directory records no opens at all for Xiberoko Botza Irratia. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

Basque does not make France's list of commonest broadcast languages, which the hub caps at six. A station like this one is invisible on its own country page's language chart and perfectly visible on the Basque shelf, which is the argument for having both.

Basque is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for France. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.
