WNYC FM

In the United States' listing WNYC FM lands at 281 of 1,481, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

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.

WNYC FM leads with news, a tag 48 other stations in the United States use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

WNYC FM streams at 96 kbps, under the United States' median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

WNYC FM streams from fm939.wnyc.org. No other station in the United States is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
