Apocalypse Radio

Among the 466 stations in the United Kingdom with pages, Apocalypse Radio is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

The country page counts dance among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 11 entries in the United Kingdom behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 270 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of the United Kingdom's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for the United Kingdom overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The station's site is at apocalypse-radio.co.uk, which sits under the .uk country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
