商業電台叱咤903

Out of 48 entries in Hong Kong SAR China, this one ranks 5. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 22 recorded opens, 商業電台叱咤903 is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

商業電台叱咤903 is the only station in Hong Kong SAR China whose first tag is oldies, out of 48 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Hong Kong SAR China does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only oldies station.

On the same tag worldwide it is 6 of 75, which is inside the top quarter of every oldies station the directory carries.

商業電台叱咤903 streams at 28 kbps against Hong Kong SAR China's median of 70, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 26% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.
