Dark City Signal

Position 195 of 487 puts this station in the middle of Spain's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Dark City Signal broadcasts in English from Spain. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Spanish leads, but not a small one: 67 stations in Spain in the directory carry English, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

At 160 kbps the stream is on the better side of Spain's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

Its audio comes straight from audiostream.hkprime.com, an address unique to this entry in Spain'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.
