GB News

In the United Kingdom's ordering this is number 175 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.

Among 466 stations in the United Kingdom here, this is the only one that puts gbn first. The gbn rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream is encoded at 1020 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for the United Kingdom. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The station's site is at superradio.cc, which sits under the .cc country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
