Radio Kayanm

At position 18 of 27, this is one of the stations in Réunion that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

With three recorded opens, Radio Kayanm sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Réunion's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Créole is one of Réunion's headline genres in this directory, and Radio Kayanm is one of 5 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

At 256 kbps, Radio Kayanm streams at more than double Réunion's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from hosting.studioradiomedia.fr:2245, an address unique to this entry in Réunion's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
