Radio Shanasheel

Position 9 of 18 puts this station in the middle of Iraq's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Radio Shanasheel broadcasts in Arabic, which is the language most of Iraq's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records three languages in total, so the Arabic stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Iraq's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Radio Shanasheel streams from stream-152.zeno.fm. No other station in Iraq is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears eight times in total.

Radio Shanasheel publishes at stream-152.zeno.fm. Worth a note because .fm is a country domain that stopped meaning its country a long time ago: it is Micronesia's, and it is used by radio stations everywhere for the obvious reason.
