StarFM

This is one of the quieter entries in South Africa's listing, at 98 of 100. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The directory records no opens at all for StarFM. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

StarFM shares its leading tag, amapiano, with one other South Africa entry. Across every country the directory has 2 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The audio comes from edge.iono.fm, and 27 other stations in South Africa are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of South Africa's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
