SomaFM Folk Forward (128k MP3) ranks 185 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.
Broadcasting in English, alongside most of the United States' other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.
SomaFM Folk Forward (128k MP3) shares its leading tag, alt-folk, with two other United States entries. Across every country the directory has 3 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.
At 128 kbps this is a typical stream for the United States by the one measure the directory carries.
The stream address on this entry points at ice6.somafm.com, which is where 36 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
The broadcaster's own site is somafm.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.

SomaFM Folk Forward (128k MP3) is one of 3,967 playable stations the catalogue lists in United States, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by SomaFM Folk Forward (128k MP3). Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at somafm.com.
