POP FM Semarang

In Indonesia's ordering this is number 105 of 212, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against POP FM Semarang is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Pop is one of Indonesia's headline genres in this directory, and POP FM Semarang is one of 33 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

The stream is 64 kbps where Indonesia's median is 96. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Its audio comes straight from i.klikhost.com:9612, an address unique to this entry in Indonesia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
