Skynews Radio

Rank 26 of 38 in Uganda. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The open count against Skynews Radio is three, 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.

Three stations in Uganda lead with the tag news, and Skynews Radio is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The directory carries no bitrate for Skynews Radio. 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. Uganda's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served from video.news.sky.com, which no other entry in Uganda 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.
