Cape Town – Internet radio stations 2oceansvibe and Ballz Visual have a fraction of the number of listeners they had claimed, according to two reports.

Rudolph Muller, editor at the MyBroadband website, published findings which showed that the two stations had about 200 to 300 listeners tuning in each hour.

This was a “far cry” from their claimed listenership, he wrote.

This follows last week’s release of an explosive report, The Truth Behind Streaming Internet Radio in South Africa, by IT specialist Shaun Dewberry, which called into question the number of listeners tuning into radio stations online.
