WCBM 680

Rank 1120 of 1,481 in the United States. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The open count against WCBM 680 is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The country page counts news among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 48 entries in the United States behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 307 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

WCBM 680 streams at 32 kbps against the United States' median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 53 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.
