iHeart 2000s Radio

iHeart 2000s Radio is one of the three most opened stations in the U.S. Outlying Islands in this directory. That is a small enough club that the country hub lists all of them above the fold, and a large enough country that the position means something.

Nothing else in the U.S. Outlying Islands' listing leads with 2000s. 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.

At 24 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the U.S. Outlying Islands' dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream is served from n23b-e2.revma.ihrhls.com, which no other entry in the U.S. Outlying Islands uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
