Frisky Radio

Frisky Radio ranks 115 among 466 stations in the United Kingdom. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Frisky Radio has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in the United Kingdom on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Frisky Radio streams at 96 kbps, under the United Kingdom's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

Its audio comes straight from stream.frisky.friskyradio.com, an address unique to this entry in the United Kingdom's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
