George FM

In New Zealand's listing George FM lands at 8 of 67, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

George FM streams at 129 kbps, which is exactly where New Zealand's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 68% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Encoded as AAC, one of the three formats New Zealand's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The audio comes from mediaworks.streamguys1.com, and 8 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.

George FM keeps its own site at rova.nz. The address sits under New Zealand's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
