← How a station qualifies to be listed here
Stations we delisted
27 entries were taken off this catalogue. Each one is named below with what was wrong, and each has a page of its own. Nothing here was removed for being small, obscure or foreign: a community station with four listeners is a radio station. These were not.
All 27 of them are still listed at the source we got them from, every one on the same stream address, and that source's own automated checker reports every one of those streams as working. It is right: the streams do work. They are simply not the stations they are filed as. That gap between "this address is live" and "this is that station" is what an automated check cannot see, and it is the reason this catalogue is read by hand.
| Was listed as | Filed under | Why it is not here |
|---|---|---|
|
A2Z RADIO
still listed at the source
|
Bangladesh | no operator, regulator entry, social page or site exists; every trace is one directory copying another, and its stream announces My Radio |
|
Abdulbasit Abdulsamad
still listed at the source
|
Egypt | a reciter's recordings on an aggregator that names no operator, country or schedule; the row is named after a person, not a station |
|
Cubania Radio
still listed at the source
|
Cuba | its stream is not this station. The mount streamingv2.shoutcast.com/cubania was recycled by its host and now serves a different broadcaster: asked today it announced icy-name 'RTFM Lounge' and was playing 'DJ John - I Like', which is the legacy Radionomy channel, not a Cuban station. This was established once before and recorded as a suspension rather than a removal, and the row stayed active and published, so the catalogue has been offering listeners a Cuban station and playing them something else. Removed properly this time, with the reason restated from what the stream announces now rather than from what it announced then. The five facts the row carried described a real Cuban station and are lost with it, which is correct: they were never about this mount. |
|
Fing Radio
still listed at the source
|
Hong Kong | its stream is laut.fm's Bluesfan, a German blues channel, on a 2020 redirect token; no station called Fing Radio could be established, and the stored Hong Kong filing rests on directories alone |
|
Gachi Station #1
still listed at the source
|
Antarctica | automated channel of a one-person Android app streaming meme remixes; no broadcaster, licence, city or schedule |
|
Gachi Station #2
still listed at the source
|
Antarctica | automated channel of a one-person Android app streaming meme remixes; no broadcaster, licence, city or schedule |
|
Gachi Station (Ukrainian playlist) #1
still listed at the source
|
Antarctica | automated channel of a one-person Android app streaming meme remixes; no broadcaster, licence, city or schedule |
|
Gospel FM Jamaica
still listed at the source
|
Jamaica | its domain has expired to a parking page, its social presence is deleted, and the last copy of its own site is an unfinished template with shows called 'Show 3' and 'Show 4' and a fictional telephone number; the 108.0 MHz in every directory is not an assignable FM frequency |
|
HAWA al Sudan
still listed at the source
|
Sudan | its only page is a Zeno.FM listing carrying Zeno's own template text, its stream mount 404s, and the links behind it are an auto-generated mirror and an unrelated private Facebook group; 'hawa' is just the Arabic for air |
|
Hits 1 Algérie
still listed at the source
|
Algeria | the operator's own channel list names nine channels and no Algerie among them, and the string appears nowhere on its site; the network is French and Swiss throughout, and every trace of an Algerian channel is a directory |
|
Navidad Grupera
still listed at the source
|
Christmas Island | off air, and its stream mount now serves a different station, LA Unica, on the same host |
|
Offworld Radio
still listed at the source
|
Marshall Islands | a dormant American comedy podcast, not a broadcaster; no stream, schedule or transmitter, and probably a scraping artefact of the similarly named Offshore Radio |
|
Original Laikos
still listed at the source
|
Greece | its stream is Radio Diplopenies, which we already hold as ΡΑΔΙΟ ΔΙΠΛΟΠΕΝΙΕΣ; no station of this name has a site of its own |
|
Quran
still listed at the source
|
Bahrain | unidentifiable: a single generic word with no homepage, callsign, frequency or operator, and nothing but a stored country code tying it to any broadcaster |
|
Quran Radio راديو القرآن - Abdulrahman Alsudais - عبدالرحمن السديس
still listed at the source
|
Kuwait | a single reciter's recorded surahs on an aggregator, not a station: no schedule, no live output, no broadcaster named anywhere on it |
|
Quran Radio راديو القرآن - Mishary Alafasy - مشاري العفاسي
still listed at the source
|
Kuwait | a single reciter's recorded surahs on an aggregator, not a station: the stream announces the reciter and the surah being played |
|
Quran Radio راديو القرآن - Saud Al-Shuraim سعود الشريم
still listed at the source
|
Kuwait | a single reciter's recorded surahs on an aggregator, not a station: no schedule, no live output, no broadcaster named anywhere on it |
|
Radio Balafon 102.7 Bobo-Dioulasso
still listed at the source
|
Burkina Faso | its stream announces itself as Radio Sante CI, an Ivorian station; both its own domains are dead and the Facebook page found for the name is a Cameroonian broadcaster, so nothing here is the licensed Bobo-Dioulasso station |
|
UpBeat.pw
still listed at the source
|
— | the same broadcast as our UpBeat Radio row, which survives. Both rows carried the identical stream https://live.upbeat.pw/ and the identical homepage; asked at the same moment, both announced icy-name UPBEAT.PW/DISCORD, icy-url upbeatradio.net and the same track, Matt Maltese - madhouse. upbeat.pw hosts nothing of its own: it answers 302 to upbeatradio.net, which is why two rows shared one homepage. UpBeat Radio is the name the operator uses for itself, and this row's domain-derived name is also what gave both rows their false country code of PW, Palau, which the operator states nowhere. |
|
Voice of Korea
still listed at the source
|
North Korea | the same stream URL as our Pyongyang Radio FM row, and the stream announces Pyongyang FM; one stream under two names, and this is the wrong one |
|
Voice of Korea (Russian)
still listed at the source
|
North Korea | its stream is a Russian 1990s Eurodance station, euroradio.ru, on a hobby-radio host; nothing connects the account to any DPRK service |
|
إذاعة ماهر المعيقلي
still listed at the source
|
— | not a station: one reciter's recorded surahs on an aggregator. Confirmed at the stream rather than from the name. The mount sits on qurango.net, which mp3quran.net's own radio index uses for 176 of its 177 channels, one per reciter, and it announces no identity of any kind: icy-name 'N/A', icy-genre 'Misc' and icy-url 'http://www.shoutcast.com', which are the untouched Shoutcast DNAS defaults. Its live metadata walks one reciter's recordings forward in Quran order rather than carrying live output, and qurango.net's own root returns 404, so there is no site on which an operator could claim it. No broadcaster, city, licence, schedule or presenter exists anywhere on it. This catalogue has removed five entries of exactly this shape before. Its stream was serving Maher Al-Muaiqly reciting Al-Ahzab when read. Filed under Oman, which nothing in its own material supports and which was cleared before removal. |

No broadcaster, city, licence, schedule or presenter exists anywhere on it. This catalogue has removed five entries of exactly this shape before. Its stream was serving Mahmoud Khalil Al-Hussary reciting Al-Isra when read. Its stored homepage, phantomsw.com, belongs to a trading-software company whose own pages mention neither radio nor Quran, and was shared with another row, which is what exposed it. |

Its stream was serving Mishary Alafasi reciting Yusuf when read. It shared the same false phantomsw.com homepage. It is not the same broadcast as the Al-Hussary row: probed in one pass, the two mounts were on different surahs, so they are two aggregator channels rather than one station listed twice. |

The row is named after a lecture series, a Quranic exegesis by a scholar who died in 2001, rather than after any broadcaster. Its mount announced nothing at all when read. Filed under Qatar on no evidence. |

مختصر التفسير

— | not a station: a work of Quranic exegesis played as recordings on an aggregator, and the sixth entry of this exact shape removed from the catalogue. Confirmed at the stream rather than from the name. Its mount on qurango.net announces icy-name 'N/A', icy-genre 'Misc' and icy-url 'http://www.shoutcast.com', which are the untouched Shoutcast DNAS defaults, and both its StreamTitle and StreamNext read 'Almukhtasar fi tafsir alquran alkarim', so it is one recording announced as its own successor rather than live output. A researcher probed two control mounts on the same host and got byte-identical defaults; 176 of that host's 177 mounts are one reciter or work each. No broadcaster, city, licence, schedule or presenter exists anywhere on it, and the host's own root returns 404, so there is no site on which an operator could claim it. The stored country of Iraq was supported by nothing and was cleared before removal. |
What is not on this list
Entries that were merged rather than removed. Where two rows in this catalogue described one broadcast, one was kept and the other deleted, and the station is still here under the surviving entry. Those are not delistings and counting them as such would say we had removed stations that are playing on the site right now.
If you think we got one of these wrong
Each page below says what we checked and what we found. If you can show that an entry is a real station, or that its stream is its own, tell us which and what you found: every reason here rests on something specific that can be checked rather than on a judgement about the station's worth.
Read from the catalogue as it stands, so this list changes as the work does. Whether the source still lists each entry was last checked in 2026.
