FOX Sports 98.9FM / 1340AM

FOX Sports 98.9FM / 1340AM sits at 685 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, FOX Sports 98.9FM / 1340AM 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 station's leading tag is sports, shared with 17 other entries in the United States. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

The gap here is large: 32 kbps where the United States' stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 53 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.
