Hard Rock Heaven

Hard Rock Heaven sits in the tail of the U.S. Outlying Islands' 19 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Hard Rock Heaven in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Hard Rock Heaven shares its leading tag, 80s, with one other U.S. Outlying Islands entry. Across every country the directory has 131 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

Hard Rock Heaven streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where the U.S. Outlying Islands' dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 50% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes straight from ais-sa2.cdnstream1.com, an address unique to this entry in the U.S. Outlying Islands' 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.
