Radio Mirpur

In Pakistan's ordering this is number 24 of 41, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Urdu is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of three Pakistan's listing records.

At 40 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Pakistan's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Its audio comes straight from whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:8074, 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 whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:8074, on the .pk:8074 domain. The newer top level domains carry no location information at all, so nothing about the address confirms or contradicts what the directory records.
