The listing for the United Kingdom is 2,240 entries deep and about 48% of it is reachable from a browser. That ratio is common in countries whose stations came online early, because the addresses date from before https was expected of a stream.

Bitrate here clusters around 128 kbps, with 69% of stations at or above the 128 kbps line this site uses as the mark of a stream worth listening to rather than having on.

No station dominates the United Kingdom's directory traffic. The leading ten carry roughly 64% of the opens, which means the table below is worth reading well past its first few rows.

The listing is overwhelmingly English, at roughly 97% of the entries that state a language, with five other languages recorded behind it. Those smaller counts are minority broadcasting inside a national dial and they are worth the click.

Ordered by open count, which separates this listing gently rather than sharply. Any row plays here, without leaving the page. Bitrate and format come from what each stream's server announces when it is scanned, so "not stated" is a silent server rather than a bad one.
