Cape Talk 567

Cape Talk 567 sits at 39 of 100 in South Africa's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The open count against Cape Talk 567 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.

Cape Talk 567 leads with adult contemporary, a tag 4 other stations in South Africa use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

The gap here is large: 32 kbps where South Africa's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from 27863.live.streamtheworld.com, 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.
