Capital Anthems

This is one of the quieter entries in the United Kingdom's listing, at 307 of 466. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The open count against Capital Anthems is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

8 stations in the United Kingdom lead with adult contemporary and Capital Anthems is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 126 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United Kingdom.

The audio comes from media-ice.musicradio.com, and 16 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.
