101.7 KKIQ

Position 615 of 1,481 puts this station in the middle of the United States' directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

23 stations in the United States lead with adult contemporary and 101.7 KKIQ is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 126 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.

101.7 KKIQ streams at 64 kbps against the United States' median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% 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.

The stream address on this entry points at live.amperwave.net, which is where 21 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
