Payphone Radio

This is one of the quieter entries in the United States' listing, at 1367 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.

No opens have been recorded against Payphone Radio in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for the United States. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Payphone Radio streams from centova11.instainternet.com. No other station in the United States is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
