Radio Balafon 102.7 Bobo-Dioulasso

Radio Balafon 102.7 Bobo-Dioulasso is one of the three most opened stations in Burkina Faso 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.

Burkina Faso's entries all carry very low open counts, the highest of them in single figures. That means the country's ordering on this site is close to arbitrary, and it is better to browse it than to trust it. The counts come from the public directory and we publish them as they are rather than dressing them up.

Only three entries in Burkina Faso put african music first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Burkina Faso's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes straight from stream-178.surfernetwork.com, an address unique to this entry in Burkina Faso's 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.
