Funk the Planet

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 76. 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 21 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.

Among 1,481 stations in the United States here, this is the only one that puts classic hip hop first. The classic hip hop rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of the United States' listing without being one of its outliers.

The stream address on this entry points at streaming.live365.com, which is where 47 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.
