ROKit Radio : Classic Crime and Suspense

ROKit Radio : Classic Crime and Suspense 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.

ROKit Radio : Classic Crime and Suspense has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

The crime 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.

ROKit Radio : Classic Crime and Suspense streams at 48 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 69% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.
