The directory lists two streams in the United States under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number two. Nothing here is taken from the other one.
Rank 1131 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.
With one recorded open, WKNC 88.1 HD2 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.
Tagged college radio, along with 6 other stations in the country and 8 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.
Of everything the directory lists in United States, the entry this page reads closest to is WKNC 88.1 HD1, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: two here and one there. The broadcaster tagged this entry variety, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the blues, classical, jazz, post-rock and rap tags and this one does not.

WKNC 88.1 HD2 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 HD2. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at wknc.org.
