RadioSimorgh Authentic Iranian music

RadioSimorgh Authentic Iranian music is at 11 in a listing of 20. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

RadioSimorgh Authentic Iranian music has 21 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

Only two entries in Iran put classical first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

On the same tag worldwide it is 18 of 242, which is inside the top quarter of every classical station the directory carries.

Its audio comes from stream.zeno.fm. Two other stations in Iran stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The station's site is at is.gd, which sits under the .gd country domain rather than Iran's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
