The Elegant Sound

The Elegant Sound is at 588 in a listing of 1,481. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

With three recorded opens, The Elegant Sound sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the United States' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The Elegant Sound is the only station in the United States whose first tag is beautiful music, out of 1,481 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United States does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only beautiful music station.

The stream address on this entry points at ais-sa2.cdnstream1.com, which is where 8 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.
