The directory lists two streams in the United States under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number one. Nothing here is taken from the other one.
At position 1442 of 1,481, this is one of the stations in the United States that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.
WKNC 88.1 HD1 has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.
Tagged blues, along with 15 other stations in the country and 78 across the directory.
The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of the United States' listing without being one of its outliers.
The stream address on this entry points at streaming.live365.com, which is where 47 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.

WKNC 88.1 HD1 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 WKNC 88.1 HD1. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at wknc.org.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
