detour TALK

Among the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages, detour TALK is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

With three recorded opens, detour TALK 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.

The country page counts talk among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 5 entries in the United States behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 15 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the United States' dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Its audio comes straight from ec1.yesstreaming.net:4350, an address unique to this entry in the United States' listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

detour TALK keeps its own site at thedetour.us. The address sits under the United States' country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
