Absolute Radio 10s

Absolute Radio 10s is deep in the United Kingdom's listing, at 302 of 466. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

Absolute Radio 10s shares its leading tag, 10s, with one other United Kingdom entry. Across every country the directory has 2 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The gap here is large: 47 kbps where the United Kingdom's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from stream-ar.hellorayo.co.uk, an address three other entries in the United Kingdom use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Absolute Radio 10s publishes at radioplayer.planetradio.co.uk. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
