Ran FM

In Sri Lanka's listing Ran FM lands at 6 of 39, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The station's language is Sinhala, the commonest of the four the directory records for Sri Lanka. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Sinhala shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

Entertainment is one of Sri Lanka's headline genres in this directory, and Ran FM is one of 7 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

Across every country, Ran FM is 17 of the 69 stations leading with entertainment, by the same open count the country list uses.

Twice the local median and then some: 320 kbps where Sri Lanka's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

Its audio comes straight from a3.asurahosting.com, an address unique to this entry in Sri Lanka'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.
