Radio Art - Jazz Ballads

Radio Art - Jazz Ballads sits in the tail of Greece's 320 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.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 100 entries in Greece broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is Greek.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Greece's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 81% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

11 of Greece's entries are served from live.radioart.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
