East Africa Radio FM

Tanzania's dial as this directory has it starts with East Africa Radio FM. Nothing about that ranking is editorial: it is the count of how often the stream has been opened, held against the 9 other stations in Tanzania with pages on this site.

The directory counts 21 opens against this stream. That is well above Tanzania's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Nothing else in Tanzania's listing leads with african music. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

On the same tag worldwide it is 3 of 41, which is inside the top quarter of every african music station the directory carries.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Tanzania'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.

Its audio comes straight from eatv.radioca.st, an address unique to this entry in Tanzania'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.
