VOV1

The directory lists three streams in Vietnam under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number one. Nothing here is taken from the other two.

VOV1 is one of the three most opened stations in Vietnam in this directory. That is a small enough club that the country hub lists all of them above the fold, and a large enough country that the position means something.

Among 26 stations in Vietnam here, this is the only one that puts government first. The government rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

256 kbps against Vietnam's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 45% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
