NOAA Weather Radio - Dallas, Texas (KEC56)

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 57. 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 26 recorded opens, NOAA Weather Radio - Dallas, Texas (KEC56) 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.

Only three entries in the United States put local weather first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The gap here is large: 32 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.

Its audio comes from wxradio.org. Four other stations in the United States stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
