Istara FM Surabaya

Istara FM Surabaya sits at 62 of 212 in Indonesia's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Broadcasting in English from Indonesia, alongside 43 other stations there doing the same. Indonesian is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Nothing else in Indonesia's listing leads with rock'n'roll. 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 sits below most of Indonesia's listing, whose median is 96 kbps. 43% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.
