Blues

Position 49 of 94 puts this station in the middle of Sweden'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.

Broadcasting in English from Sweden, alongside 55 other stations there doing the same. Swedish is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

The shelf for the language holds 5,984 stations, led by United States. A station like this one broadcasting from Sweden is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

Nothing else in Sweden's listing leads with blues. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The directory carries no bitrate for Blues. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Sweden's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

9 of Sweden's entries are served from mml1.prostream.se, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

The nearest thing to this entry in Sweden is 90s Rewind. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. The broadcaster tagged this entry blues and soul, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the 90s, hits, pop and retro tags and this one does not.
