The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
Rank 19 of 25 in Kenya. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.
With two recorded opens, CRI Kiswahili sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Kenya's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.
International is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Kenya uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.
CRI Kiswahili reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.
CRI Kiswahili publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
The stream is served from sk.cri.cn, which no other entry in Kenya uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

CRI Kiswahili is one of 26 playable stations the catalogue lists in Kenya, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by CRI Kiswahili. Stream served directly by the broadcaster.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
Keep CRI Kiswahili playing while you work
Streams like this one need a player that does more than a browser tab does. The Chrome extension carries 20,000+ stations, opens the formats a tab will not, and keeps playing while you get on with your work.
