Rock The World - Heavy Metal

Rock The World - Heavy Metal sits in the tail of the United Arab Emirates' 328 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.

Rock The World - Heavy Metal has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

The heavy metal corner of the United Arab Emirates' dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The stream address on this entry points at drive.uber.radio, which is where 54 other stations in the United Arab Emirates are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
