Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans

Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans sits at 252 of 466 in the United Kingdom's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Two stations in the United Kingdom lead with the tag electronica, and Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans streams at 64 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 69% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans streams in AAC while most of the United Kingdom's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Dirty Radio for Underworld Fans publishes at dirty.radio. A .radio address is not open registration; the registry limits it to broadcasters and related organisations, so it is one of the few domains that says something verifiable about who owns it.
