WXPN

This is one of the quieter entries in the United States' listing, at 1159 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, WXPN 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.

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.

WXPN streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where the United States' dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes from wxpn.xpn.org. One other station in the United States streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
