1940s Light Programme

Rank 414 of 466 in the United Kingdom. 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.

1940s Light Programme 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.

English is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six the United Kingdom's listing records.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with the United Kingdom's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The audio comes from cast2.asurahosting.com, and 10 other stations in the United Kingdom are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United Kingdom's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
