99.1 Joy FM

99.1 Joy FM sits at 646 of 1,481 in the United States' listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With two recorded opens, 99.1 Joy FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the United States' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

99.1 Joy FM 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.

Its audio comes from gateway.cdnstream1.com. One other station in the United States streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
