الكويت - البرنامج الثاني

The name begins with a place. Kuwait is what it names, which is the part a listener in Kuwait would use to pick this entry out of a list of neighbours with otherwise similar names. The heading keeps the broadcaster's own spelling, in Arabic script.

الكويت - البرنامج الثاني sits at 6 of 13 in Kuwait's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Nothing else in Kuwait's listing leads with mix. 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 against Kuwait's median of 64. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 0% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The format here is MP3, against a listing for Kuwait overwhelmingly made of AAC+. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where MP3 is the older and more forgiving of the two.
