101.9 KQXT

101.9 KQXT is at position 289 of the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

101.9 KQXT streams at 24 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.

101.9 KQXT publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

177 of the United States' entries are served from stream.revma.ihrhls.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

101.9 KQXT and Nu Metal Radio are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. This entry is named for a number, one hundred and one point nine, and the other is not. This entry records Texas as the region it transmits from, and the other records no region at all. The broadcaster tagged this entry 80's, soft rock, todays hits and top 40, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the alternative rock, nu metal and rock tags and this one does not. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, q1019.iheart.com and iheart.com.
