WSMR Classical 89.1 FM

This is one of the quieter entries in the United States' listing, at 1151 of 1,481. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, WSMR Classical 89.1 FM 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.

Nothing else in the United States' listing leads with 24/7. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

At 191 kbps the stream is on the better side of the United States' dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream is served from wusf.streamguys1.com, which no other entry in the United States uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
