Brigada News FM Bacolod

This is one of the quieter entries in the Philippines' listing, at 82 of 116. 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.

With one recorded open, Brigada News FM Bacolod sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the Philippines' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

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 is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 96 kbps median for the Philippines. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Its audio comes straight from bacolodstream.brigadanews.ph, an address unique to this entry in the Philippines' 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.

The broadcaster publishes at brigadanews.ph, on the Philippines' own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
