BMFR - Blues Music Fan Radio

In the United States' listing BMFR - Blues Music Fan Radio lands at 177 of 1,481, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

16 stations in the United States lead with blues and BMFR - Blues Music Fan Radio is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 78 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.

Worldwide it ranks 7 among 78 blues entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

At 320 kbps, BMFR - Blues Music Fan Radio streams at more than double the United States' median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

The stream is served from orbit.citrus3.com:8052, 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.
