Afrobeat N1 FM

In South Africa's ordering this is number 38 of 100, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against Afrobeat N1 FM is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Among 100 stations in South Africa here, this is the only one that puts afrobeat first. The afrobeat rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream is served from streamer.radio.co, which no other entry in South Africa 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.

The broadcaster publishes at afrobeatfm.co.za, on South Africa's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
