Radio HIFI

Rank 9 of 10 in Madagascar. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The open count against Radio HIFI is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Radio HIFI streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Madagascar's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 67% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from listen.radioking.com, an address one other entry in Madagascar uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
