Radio Liban

Out of 37 entries in Lebanon, this one ranks 8. 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.

At 20 recorded opens, Radio Liban is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Only three entries in Lebanon put arabic music first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

Radio Liban streams at 64 kbps against Lebanon's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 74% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The stream is served from media2.streambrothers.com:2020, which no other entry in Lebanon 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.
