Funky Ass Tunes

Out of 75 entries in Ireland, this one ranks 19. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Funky Ass Tunes has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Ireland on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Nothing else in Ireland's listing leads with funk. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

128 kbps matches Ireland's median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

Its audio comes straight from ams1.reliastream.com, an address unique to this entry in Ireland'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.

Funky Ass Tunes publishes at funkyasstunes.com, on a generic domain. Most stations do; it carries no information about location and it is linked here so you can check the source rather than take this page's word for anything.
