Topradio TopBam

In Belgium's ordering this is number 39 of 122, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against Topradio TopBam is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Topradio TopBam is the only station in Belgium whose first tag is hard techno, out of 122 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Belgium does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only hard techno station.

14 of Belgium's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
