R/a/dio

Out of 88 entries in Japan, this one ranks 15. 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.

R/a/dio broadcasts in Japanese, which is the language most of Japan's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records four languages in total, so the Japanese stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

The station's leading tag is anime, shared with 3 other entries in Japan. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

On the same tag worldwide it is 6 of 25, which is inside the top quarter of every anime station the directory carries.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

Its audio comes straight from relay0.r-a-d.io, an address unique to this entry in Japan'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.
