FIP Hip-Hop

FIP Hip-Hop is at 328 in a listing of 710. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Among 710 stations in France here, this is the only one that puts hiphop first. The hiphop rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

At 107 kbps, this sits below most of France's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 74% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

FIP Hip-Hop publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

The audio comes from stream.radiofrance.fr, and 35 other stations in France are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of France's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
