Medina FM Andalou (128 kbps)

Position 15 of 45 puts this station in the middle of Morocco's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Arabic is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of four Morocco's listing records.

Nothing else in Morocco's listing leads with al-ala. 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.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Morocco's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes straight from medinaandalou.ice.infomaniak.ch, an address unique to this entry in Morocco'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.

Medina FM Andalou (128 kbps) keeps its own site at medinafm.ma. The address sits under Morocco's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
