Radio Heavy Metal

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 90. 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.

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.

Only three entries in France put heavy metal 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 is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for France. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from manager7.streamradio.fr:1435, which no other entry in France uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

Radio Heavy Metal publishes at radioheavymetal76.wixsite.com, on a generic domain. Most stations do; it carries no information about location and it is linked here so you can check the source rather than take this page's word for anything.
