MPR Classical 24/7

At position 1349 of 1,481, this is one of the stations in the United States that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

MPR Classical 24/7 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 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.

MPR Classical 24/7 is the only station in the United States whose first tag is classical baroque, out of 1,481 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United States does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only classical baroque station.

Its audio comes straight from cms.stream.publicradio.org, an address unique to this entry in the United States' listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
