WQHT Hot 97 is at position 144 of the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.
The station's leading tag is urban contemporary, shared with 9 other entries in the United States. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.
WQHT Hot 97 streams at 64 kbps against the United States' median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.
AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.
WQHT Hot 97 streams from 18313.live.streamtheworld.com. No other station in the United States is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by WQHT Hot 97. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.hot97.com.
