Hot Hiphop N RnB

This is one of the quieter entries in the Philippines' listing, at 74 of 116. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With two recorded opens, Hot Hiphop N RnB sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the Philippines' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

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.

128 kbps, which puts Hot Hiphop N RnB above the 96 kbps that a typical entry in the Philippines runs at.

The audio comes from stream.zeno.fm, and 26 other stations in the Philippines are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the Philippines' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The nearest thing to this entry in Philippines is Star FM Roxas. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. This one is encoded as MP3 and that one as AAC, which is a difference a browser can hear about before you can. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, play.google.com and bomboradyo.com.
