Outlaw - Country Music Radio

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 40. 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.

The directory counts 34 opens against this stream. That is well above the United States' median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Nothing else in the United States' listing leads with alt-country. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

320 kbps against the United States' median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

Its audio comes from r.bgp.rodeo. Two 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.

Their site is r.bgp.rodeo, on the .rodeo domain. The newer top level domains carry no location information at all, so nothing about the address confirms or contradicts what the directory records.
