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.
KBS 1Radio is one of two entries in South Korea whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is one. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.
Out of 58 entries in South Korea, this one ranks 11. 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.
No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.
The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
Its audio comes from 2radio-bora.gscdn.kbs.co.kr. One other station in South Korea streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

KBS 1Radio 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 1Radio. Stream served directly by the broadcaster.
This address is a second listing of the same station in the same country. KBS 1Radio is the entry the directory records more plays against, so it is the one we ask search engines to index. This page keeps working and the stream on it is the one listed here.
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.
