Bluegrass Country

Bluegrass Country is at position 95 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.

Only three entries in the United States put bluegrass first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

Bluegrass Country 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.

Encoded as AAC, one of the three formats the United States' stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The stream address on this entry points at ice24.securenetsystems.net, which is where 10 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.
