ZBS Zodiak FM

ZBS Zodiak FM heads Malawi's listing here, ahead of 6 other stations from the country. The ordering is the directory's own record of how often each stream is opened, so this is a popularity signal rather than an editorial one, and it is the signal the country hub is built on.

ZBS Zodiak FM is the only station in Malawi whose first tag is entertainment, out of 7 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Malawi does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only entertainment station.

Across every country, ZBS Zodiak FM is 13 of the 69 stations leading with entertainment, by the same open count the country list uses.

ZBS Zodiak FM streams at 32 kbps against Malawi's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 50% 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.

ZBS Zodiak FM streams from ice31.securenetsystems.net. No other station in Malawi is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears two times in total.
