How we checked Splash FM 105.5

Everything published about this station was read from the station's own website or its own stream, and every fact below names the page it came from and the year it was read. We changed 1 thing about this entry. We also found 3 things we could have published and decided not to.

What we publish, and where each part came from

This station carries no researched facts. There was nothing of its own to read. The address this entry arrived with is not a site of the station's, and it publishes no other that we could find. What that address turned out to be is below.

What we corrected

Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
The line "This is the first private radio station in the city of Ibadan", which is the description on the Mixlr channel titled "Splash FM Ibadan"	Mixlr is a broadcast hosting platform of the kind whose operator pages are acceptable sources, so this was genuinely publishable and I nearly took it. I did not, because nothing demonstrates the channel is the station's. It carries Mixlr's stock fallback channel image rather than a logo, sets no website link, gives no contact route, and is cross-linked from no domain the operator controls. Anyone can title a channel after a well known station. The row's instruction was to confirm from a site demonstrably this station's own before attributing anything, and one unverified sentence on a bare platform profile does not meet that. source
Everything on popradio.fm	It is a live site reached from Splash FM's likeliest former domain, which makes it a trap rather than a source. Its frequency, its telephone number and its track titles belong to another station. source
The frequency, city and country implied by the row itself and echoed in the search result titles I saw	Those titles were all directory listings, which this catalogue does not accept, and I opened none of them. Repeating 105.5 and Ibadan from them would be reintroducing exactly the kind of fact that was withdrawn. WHAT WOULD CLOSE IT: this is an identification and discovery problem rather than a reading one, so it is not a retry candidate as the row stands. Two concrete checks. First, resolve the row's stored stream_url if it has one and read the mount name and the server's icy-name, then compare a simultaneous now-playing reading against the Mixlr channel's stream; if they match, the Mixlr channel is the station's and its description and any contact route become publishable. Second, check whether the operator has announced a current domain on the Facebook page at facebook.com/Splashfm105.5, which would give a homepage to read properly. source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.

Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research current as at 2026.
