MBC Best FM

Near the top of Mauritius' list, at 3 of 14. Positions this high tend to be stable between snapshots, which is more than can be said for the middle of a long national listing.

MBC Best FM shares its leading tag, dance, with one other Mauritius entry. Across every country the directory has 270 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

On the same tag worldwide it is 55 of 270, which is inside the top quarter of every dance station the directory carries.

The directory carries no bitrate for MBC Best FM. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Mauritius' stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream is served from radio.mbconline.xyz, an address three other entries in Mauritius use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
