Skyrock Hits

Skyrock Hits is at position 176 of the 710 stations in France with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

Skyrock Hits has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in France on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Rap covers 4 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.

Skyrock Hits streams in AAC while most of France's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream is served from icecast.skyrock.net, an address four other entries in France use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
