Tambo FM

Rank 68 of 100 in South Africa. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Tambo FM streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where South Africa's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 47% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes straight from listen.radioking.com, 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 publishes at tambofm.co.za, on South Africa's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
