Hum FM 106.2

Of the 41 stations in Pakistan with a page on this site, Hum FM 106.2 is the one the directory records the most opens for. That makes it the default entry point to the country, and it is where the country hub starts its own list.

At 42 recorded opens, Hum FM 106.2 is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

The interesting fact about this entry is the pairing. English is not what Pakistan's dial mostly speaks, and the directory has two English stations registered in the country against a majority of Urdu.

The shelf for the language holds 5,984 stations, led by United States. A station like this one broadcasting from Pakistan is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

Bollywood is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Pakistan uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The stream is 96 kbps where Pakistan's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.
