Flex FM 101.4

Flex FM 101.4 sits at 212 of 466 in the United Kingdom's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Dance is one of the United Kingdom's headline genres in this directory, and Flex FM 101.4 is one of 11 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

320 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 69% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from a2.asurahosting.com:7400, which no other entry in the United Kingdom 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.

The station's site is at flexfm.co.uk, which sits under the .uk country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
