RRI Pro 1 Makassar

RRI Pro 1 Makassar 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.

RRI Pro 1 Makassar has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

News is one of Indonesia's headline genres in this directory, and RRI Pro 1 Makassar is one of 5 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.

RRI Pro 1 Makassar streams at 64 kbps, under Indonesia's median of 96 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream is served from stream-node0.rri.co.id, an address six other entries in Indonesia use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
