KPOA-FM 93.5 Lahaina, Hi

In the United States' ordering this is number 722 of 1,481, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against KPOA-FM 93.5 Lahaina, Hi is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Hawaiian adult contemporary is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in the United States uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where the United States' stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from pacificmedia.cdnstream1.com, an address four other entries in the United States use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

KPOA-FM 93.5 Lahaina, Hi and The Wave 105.9 FM are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred.

The broadcaster tagged this entry hawaiian adult contemporary, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the hawaiian, jazz and smooth tags and this one does not.
