Radio Ålesund

This is one of the quieter entries in Norway's listing, at 62 of 66. 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.

Radio Ålesund 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.

Radio Ålesund streams at 128 kbps, under Norway's median of 159 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

Radio Ålesund streams in AAC while most of Norway's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Radio Ålesund streams from audio.radioaalesund.no. No other station in Norway is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
