Radio 3FACH

Radio 3FACH sits in the tail of Switzerland's 126 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The open count against Radio 3FACH is one, 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.

Radio 3FACH has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Switzerland on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Radio 3FACH reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

Its audio comes straight from stream01.3fach.ch, an address unique to this entry in Switzerland'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.
