Pulsas

Pulsas sits in the tail of Lithuania's 38 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The open count against Pulsas is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The directory records no language for Pulsas. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

Twice the local median and then some: 320 kbps where Lithuania's stations typically manage 160. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

Its audio comes straight from pulsas.lt, an address unique to this entry in Lithuania'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.
