Jazz 88 Minneapolis KBEM

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 54. 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.

At 27 recorded opens, Jazz 88 Minneapolis KBEM is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

The station's leading tag is jazz, shared with 20 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.

Worldwide it ranks 1 among 127 jazz entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

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.
