Press play and it starts here if your browser can open the stream. This one is served in a shape a plain browser tab struggles with, which the page explains rather than leaving you guessing.

The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
Among the 58 stations in South Korea with pages, KBS 1R is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.
The open count against KBS 1R 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.
KBS 1R reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.
KBS 1R publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
KBS 1R streams from 1radio-bora.gscdn.kbs.co.kr. No other station in South Korea is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

KBS 1R is one of 66 playable stations the catalogue lists in South Korea, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by KBS 1R. Stream served directly by the broadcaster.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.

Where a browser tab gives up on a stream, the extension usually does not. 20,000+ stations, in the toolbar, still playing when you change page.
