Capital FM London

Out of 466 entries in the United Kingdom, this one ranks 76. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Broadcasting in English, alongside most of the United Kingdom's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

Capital FM London is the only station in the United Kingdom whose first tag is chr, out of 466 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United Kingdom does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only chr station.

Capital FM London streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where the United Kingdom's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 69% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream address on this entry points at media-ssl.musicradio.com, which is where 26 other stations in the United Kingdom are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
