GBH (WGBH) 87.9 sits in the tail of the United States' 1,481 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.
With one recorded open, GBH (WGBH) 87.9 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 language is English, the commonest of the six the directory records for the United States. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the English shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.
30 stations in the United States lead with classical and GBH (WGBH) 87.9 is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 242 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.
Its audio comes from wgbh-live.streamguys1.com. Two other stations in the United States stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

GBH (WGBH) 87.9 is one of 3,967 playable stations the catalogue lists in United States, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by GBH (WGBH) 87.9. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.wgbh.org.
