Radyo Karakoçan

Radyo Karakoçan sits in the tail of Türkiye's 369 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.

With two recorded opens, Radyo Karakoçan sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Türkiye's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Radyo Karakoçan streams at 64 kbps against Türkiye's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 64% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Türkiye's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The stream is served from radyokarakocan.ozelip.com, which no other entry in Türkiye uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
