hln

hln is at 535 in a listing of 1,481. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

A news station on a dial where news is one of the commonest tags: 48 entries in the United States lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how the United States' broadcasters describe themselves.

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.

The audio comes from tunein.cdnstream1.com, and 7 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
