Hype.FM

Hype.FM sits in the tail of Serbia's 128 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Hype.FM in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Hype.FM is the only station in Serbia whose first tag is 90.8 fm, out of 128 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Serbia does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only 90.8 fm station.

320 kbps against Serbia's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from 93.87.22.105:8000, which no other entry in Serbia uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
