100% Hip Hop | NTS

100% Hip Hop | NTS is the only station in the United Kingdom whose first tag is hip-hop, out of 466 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United Kingdom does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only hip-hop station.

Across every country, 100% Hip Hop | NTS is 3 of the 25 stations leading with hip-hop, by the same open count the country list uses.

At 256 kbps, 100% Hip Hop | NTS streams at more than double the United Kingdom's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

The stream address on this entry points at stream-mixtape-geo.ntslive.net, which is where 13 other stations in the United Kingdom are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
