KISS 98.1

KISS 98.1 is one of two entries in the United States sharing a name and differing by a number, and this one carries ninety-eight point one. That number is the only thing in the name that separates it from the rest of the set.

KISS 98.1 is deep in the United States' listing, at 1311 of 1,481. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

KISS 98.1 has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

The directory carries no bitrate for KISS 98.1. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. the United States' stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream address on this entry points at stream.revma.ihrhls.com, which is where 176 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.
