Beloved Ballads

This is one of the quieter entries in Switzerland's listing, at 82 of 126. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The open count against Beloved Ballads is two, 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.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Twice the local median and then some: 256 kbps where Switzerland's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The audio comes from strm112.1.fm, and 10 other stations in Switzerland are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Switzerland's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
