Orthodox Sentinel

This is one of the quieter entries in the United States' listing, at 1031 of 1,481. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, Orthodox Sentinel sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the United States' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The directory records no language for Orthodox Sentinel. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

Orthodox Sentinel streams at 64 kbps against the United States' median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Its audio comes from s4.radio.co. 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.
