Raya FM

Out of 6 entries in the Palestinian Territories, this one ranks 4. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The directory records no language for Raya FM. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

Among 6 stations in the Palestinian Territories here, this is the only one that puts news first. The news rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with the Palestinian Territories' 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 rstream.hadara.ps, an address unique to this entry in the Palestinian Territories' 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.
