91.3 WYEP

Position 482 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.

The open count against 91.3 WYEP is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

91.3 WYEP shares its leading tag, alternative / indie, with one other United States entry. Across every country the directory has 12 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The gap here is large: 56 kbps where the United States' stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream address on this entry points at ais-sa3.cdnstream1.com, which is where 7 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.
