George FM - DnB

This is one of the quieter entries in New Zealand's listing, at 60 of 67. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

No opens have been recorded against George FM - DnB in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Dnb is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in New Zealand uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 10 other stations in New Zealand are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of New Zealand's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
