Radio Sahar

Israel carries ten English stations in the directory against a Hebrew majority. Radio Sahar is one of them, and the pairing of language and country is the fact that distinguishes it from the rest of the national list.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Radio Sahar is the only station in Israel whose first tag is hebrew, out of 68 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Israel does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only hebrew station.

320 kbps against Israel's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 78% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from live.ecast.co.il, an address one other entry in Israel uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
