Base FM

Base FM is at position 23 of the 118 stations in Hungary 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.

Nothing else in Hungary's listing leads with hiphop. 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.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 160 kbps median for Hungary. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream address on this entry points at icast.connectmedia.hu, which is where 13 other stations in Hungary are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Their site is basefm.hu, a domain registered in Hungary. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
