Radiø Bø

Radiø Bø sits in the tail of Norway's 66 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.

Radiø Bø has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Radiø Bø is the only station in Norway whose first tag is lofoten, out of 66 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Norway does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only lofoten station.

Radiø Bø streams at 192 kbps, above Norway's median of 159 kbps. It sits with the 87% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes straight from nettradio.radiobo.com, an address unique to this entry in Norway'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.
