Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 190. 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.
SomaFM The Dark Zone has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in the United States on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.
The stream is AAC. the United States' dial is split across three formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.
The audio comes from ice5.somafm.com, and 31 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.

SomaFM The Dark Zone 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 The Dark Zone. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at somafm.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
