WVBC-LP 96.9 The Voice of Bessemer City Schools

Rank 1463 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.

The directory records no opens at all for WVBC-LP 96.9 The Voice of Bessemer City Schools. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

The r&b corner of the United States' dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The audio comes from streaming.live365.com, and 47 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.

The nearest thing to this entry in United States is Ke Buena 97.5 FM. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: ninety-six point nine here and ninety-seven point five there. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Alabama, that one under El Paso TX. The two streams are served from different addresses, streaming.live365.com for this one and playerservices.streamtheworld.com for the other. The directory puts this stream at one hundred and twenty-eight kilobits and the other at sixty-four. The broadcaster tagged this entry r&b, smooth jazz and soul, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the regional mexican tag and this one does not.
