VCR - 90.6 FM Stereo

VCR - 90.6 FM Stereo is deep in South Africa's listing, at 99 of 100. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

VCR - 90.6 FM Stereo 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.

VCR - 90.6 FM Stereo has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in South Africa on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with South Africa's 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 radio2.eclipse-streaming.co.za, an address unique to this entry in South Africa'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.
