Radio Swara Semarang

Radio Swara Semarang sits in the tail of Indonesia's 212 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.

With one recorded open, Radio Swara Semarang sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Indonesia's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Radio Swara Semarang shares its leading tag, local music, with two other Indonesia entries. Across every country the directory has 8 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

At 112 kbps the stream is on the better side of Indonesia's dial, where the median is 96 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

Its audio comes from server.radioimeldafm.co.id. Two other stations in Indonesia stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Their site is radioswarasemarangfm.co.id, a domain registered in Indonesia. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
