Radio Azawan

Rank 38 of 45 in Morocco. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Radio Azawan streams at 63 kbps against Morocco's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 84% 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 format here is AAC+, against a listing for Morocco overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The stream is served from az-maroc.ice.infomaniak.ch, an address one other entry in Morocco uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
