FM 93 Mianwali

FM 93 Mianwali sits at 13 of 41 in Pakistan's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

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.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Pakistan's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes straight from whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:8028, an address unique to this entry in Pakistan'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.

Their site is radio.gov.pk, a domain registered in Pakistan. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.

The nearest thing to this entry in Pakistan is FM 101 Larkana. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: ninety-three here and one hundred and one there. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Punjab, that one under Sindh. The two streams are served from different addresses, whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:8028 for this one and whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:8050 for the other. On the dial they are recorded at ninety-three FM and one hundred and one FM.
