Yfm Fm

Yfm Fm sits in the tail of Ghana's 58 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

Yfm Fm has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

English is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of three Ghana's listing records.

At 256 kbps, Yfm Fm streams at more than double Ghana's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

The stream is served from atunwadigital.streamguys1.com, an address five other entries in Ghana use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Yfm Fm publishes at yfmghana.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.
