Forth1

Forth1 is at position 88 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 pop music corner of the United Kingdom's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

On the same tag worldwide it is 9 of 47, which is inside the top quarter of every pop music station the directory carries.

The gap here is large: 48 kbps where the United Kingdom's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from stream-al.hellorayo.co.uk, an address five other entries in the United Kingdom use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Forth1 publishes at hellorayo.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.
