Star FM Roxas

This is one of the quieter entries in the Philippines' listing, at 115 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.

Star FM Roxas has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

The encode is 128 kbps against a country median of 96. Comfortably above the middle of the Philippines' listing without being one of its outliers.

The audio comes from stream.zeno.fm, and 26 other stations in the Philippines are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the Philippines' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
