iSWARA SURABAYA

iSWARA SURABAYA is deep in Indonesia's listing, at 184 of 212. 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.

No opens have been recorded against iSWARA SURABAYA 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.

A pop station on a dial where pop is one of the commonest tags: 33 entries in Indonesia lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Indonesia's broadcasters describe themselves.

The directory carries no bitrate for iSWARA SURABAYA. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Indonesia's stations that do report come in at a median of 96 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The audio comes from stream.radiojar.com, and 7 other stations in Indonesia 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 Indonesia's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
