Gone Country

Gone Country sits in the tail of New Zealand's 67 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.

With one recorded open, Gone Country sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in New Zealand's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Among 67 stations in New Zealand here, this is the only one that puts country first. The country rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

Its audio comes straight from usa10.fastcast4u.com:6010, an address unique to this entry in New Zealand'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.

The broadcaster publishes at gonecountry.co.nz, on New Zealand's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
