WHIL 91.3 - Alabama Public Radio

Rank 1438 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.

No opens have been recorded against WHIL 91.3 - Alabama Public Radio in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

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.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of the United States' listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 53 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
