Fairuz فيروز

In Lebanon's listing Fairuz فيروز lands at 10 of 37, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The station's language is Arabic, the commonest of the four the directory records for Lebanon. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Arabic shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

The arabic corner of Lebanon's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

Fairuz فيروز streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Lebanon's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 74% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes from stream.zeno.fm. Five other stations in Lebanon stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Fairuz فيروز publishes at zeno.fm. Worth a note because .fm is a country domain that stopped meaning its country a long time ago: it is Micronesia's, and it is used by radio stations everywhere for the obvious reason.
