Hotmix 80

Hotmix 80 is one of four entries in France whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is eighty. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 60. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

80s covers 9 of France's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

Across every country, Hotmix 80 is 9 of the 131 stations leading with 80s, by the same open count the country list uses.

The stream address on this entry points at streaming.hotmixradio.com, which is where 50 other stations in France are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
