Radio Pakistan D.I. Khan MW 711

This is one of the quieter entries in Pakistan's listing, at 34 of 41. 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.

The open count against Radio Pakistan D.I. Khan MW 711 is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

A public radio station on a dial where public radio is one of the commonest tags: 4 entries in Pakistan lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Pakistan's broadcasters describe themselves.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Pakistan's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 59% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

Its audio comes straight from whmsonic.radio.gov.pk:7000, 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.
