Hotmix Pop Rock

Hotmix Pop Rock sits at 192 of 710 in France's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The station's leading tag is pop rock, shared with 9 other entries in France. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with France'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.

The audio comes from streaming.hotmixradio.com, and 50 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.
