Heart FM

Position 42 of 100 puts this station in the middle of South Africa's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

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

Heart FM reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream is served from streaming.fabrik.fm, an address six other entries in South Africa use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
