Position 589 of 1,481 puts this station in the middle of the United States' directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.
With three recorded opens, The Fan 97.1 WBNS-FM Sports Radio 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.
No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.
The Fan 97.1 WBNS-FM Sports Radio streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where the United States' dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.
The Fan 97.1 WBNS-FM Sports Radio streams from radiohio.streamguys1.com. No other station in the United States is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

The Fan 97.1 WBNS-FM Sports Radio 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 The Fan 97.1 WBNS-FM Sports Radio. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.971thefan.com.
