Radio Motown

Radio Motown ranks 39 among 1,481 stations in the United States. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

The directory counts 35 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.

Tagged disco, along with 8 other stations in the country and 33 across the directory.

Worldwide it ranks 1 among 33 disco entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

At 320 kbps, Radio Motown streams at more than double the United States' median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes from broadcast.miami. Six 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.
