Oman Fm

Out of 58 entries in Ghana, this one ranks 15. 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.

Oman Fm broadcasts in Akan from Ghana. That is a minority language on the national dial, where English leads, but not a small one: 54 stations in Ghana in the directory carry Akan, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

The shelf for the language holds 55 stations, led by Belgium. A station like this one broadcasting from Ghana is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

The variety corner of Ghana's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Ghana's listing without being one of its outliers.

The stream is served from omanfm-atunwadigital.streamguys1.com, which no other entry in Ghana 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.
