CNN International Audio

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 38. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The directory counts 36 opens against this stream. That is well above the United States' median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

News is one of the United States' headline genres in this directory, and CNN International Audio is one of 48 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

Across every country, CNN International Audio is 26 of the 307 stations leading with news, by the same open count the country list uses.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of the United States' listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

8 of the United States' entries are served from tunein.cdnstream1.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
