Afrobeats FM

Out of 100 entries in South Africa, this one ranks 23. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Afrobeats FM has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in South Africa on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

128 kbps matches South Africa's median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

Its audio comes straight from audio.afrobeatsfm.com:8443, an address unique to this entry in South Africa'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.

The broadcaster's own site is afrobeatsfm.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.
