70s 80s Hits

In the United States' listing 70s 80s Hits lands at 88 of 1,481, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The station's language is English, the commonest of the six the directory records for the United States. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the English shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

Nothing else in the United States' listing leads with hits 70s 80s. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

70s 80s Hits streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where the United States' dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from azuracast.streams.gr, which no other entry in the United States 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.

70s 80s Hits and KALW 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, the eighties, and the other is not. The other entry records Northern California as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. The two streams are served from different addresses, azuracast.streams.gr for this one and kalw-live.streamguys1.com for the other. This one is encoded as MP3 and that one as AAC, which is a difference a browser can hear about before you can. The broadcaster tagged this entry hits 70s 80s, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the bbc, eclectic programming and npr tags and this one does not.
