I Like It Oldskool

I Like It Oldskool sits in the tail of the United Kingdom's 466 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

A dance station on a dial where dance is one of the commonest tags: 11 entries in the United Kingdom lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how the United Kingdom's broadcasters describe themselves.

320 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 69% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from ilikeitoldskool.radioca.st, which no other entry in the United Kingdom uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The station's site is at ilikeitoldskool.co.uk, which sits under the .uk 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.
