Q102 - WIOQ-FM 102.1 Philladelphia

Among the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages, Q102 - WIOQ-FM 102.1 Philladelphia is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

The country page counts pop among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 34 entries in the United States behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 343 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

The directory carries no bitrate for Q102 - WIOQ-FM 102.1 Philladelphia. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. the United States' stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The audio comes from stream.revma.ihrhls.com, and 176 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Of everything the directory lists in United States, the entry this page reads closest to is 105.9 The Brew, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: one hundred and two point one here and one hundred and five point nine there. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Philadelphia PA, that one under Vancouver WA. The broadcaster tagged this entry pop and top 40, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the rock tag and this one does not. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, q102.iheart.com and 1059thebrew.iheart.com.
