Exclusively Dire Straits

Exclusively Dire Straits is at position 114 of the 466 stations in the United Kingdom with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The station's language is English, the commonest of the six the directory records for the United Kingdom. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the English shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

Exclusively Dire Straits shares its leading tag, rock, with two other United Kingdom entries. Across every country the directory has 148 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

On the same tag worldwide it is 21 of 148, which is inside the top quarter of every rock station the directory carries.

Its audio comes from streaming.exclusive.radio. Three other stations in the United Kingdom stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The broadcaster's own site is exclusive.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
