The directory lists two streams in the United States under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number three. Nothing here is taken from the other one.
In the United States' listing SomaFM Underground 80s (256k MP3) lands at 273 of 1,481, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.
English is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six the United States' listing records.
Tagged 80s, along with 16 other stations in the country and 131 across the directory.
On the same tag worldwide it is 33 of 131, which is inside the top quarter of every 80s station the directory carries.
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.
36 of the United States' entries are served from ice2.somafm.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
The nearest thing to this entry in United States is SomaFM CliqHop IDM (256k MP3). They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. The two streams are served from different addresses, ice2.somafm.com for this one and ice6.somafm.com for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry 80s, new wave and uk synthpop, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the idm tag and this one does not.

SomaFM Underground 80s (256k 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 Underground 80s (256k MP3). 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.
