Fix Radio

In the United Kingdom's ordering this is number 258 of 466, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The directory carries no bitrate for Fix Radio. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. the United Kingdom's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

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.

Its audio comes from stream.rcs.revma.com. 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.

Fix Radio publishes at fixradio.co.uk. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
