Radio Scoop FM

At position 10 of 15, this is one of the stations in Haiti that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Nothing else in Haiti's listing leads with talk show. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

Radio Scoop FM streams at 64 kbps against Haiti's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 84% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Radio Scoop FM streams in AAC+ while most of Haiti'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 studio.sitegenial.com, an address one other entry in Haiti uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
