WALM 2 HD Opus

WALM 2 HD Opus ranks 15 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.

With 129 opens recorded, this is one of the directory's heavily played streams. That is the strongest thing the public data says about any station, and it is still a measure of traffic through one directory rather than of audience.

Only three entries in the United States put choral first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The stream is OGG, which is unusual anywhere: the United States' listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.

The stream address on this entry points at icecast.walmradio.com:8443, which is where 10 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.
