SekhukhuneFM

In South Africa's ordering this is number 51 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 SekhukhuneFM 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.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

SekhukhuneFM 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.

28 of South Africa's entries are served from edge.iono.fm, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Of everything the directory lists in South Africa, the entry this page reads closest to is Radio Pulpit, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. This entry records Limpopo Province as the region it transmits from, and the other records no region at all. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, skfm.co.za and radiopulpit.co.za.
