WZBC sits in the tail of the United States' 1,481 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.
The directory records no opens at all for WZBC. 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.
WZBC is the only station in the United States whose first tag is arts, out of 1,481 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United States does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only arts station.
Its audio comes straight from stream.wzbc.org, an address unique to this entry in the United States' listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
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 WZBC. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.wzbc.org.
