After 2005 when terrorist bombs hit their studio, hot fm 104.1 has been off air, but its now back on 98.1 from a secret location,,,, it leans adult at night, and during the day its a straight ahead chr,,, Rock Friendly,, Rhythmic Friendly, and dance friendly, and even some 80s and 90s rhythmic hits,,, Tone Loc-Wild Thing. marky Mark-Good vibrations, Def Leapard-Sugar, Sir Mix alot-Baby got back... Station targets both the locals and the troops, but its more hip than AFN, so the soldiers are happier,, they do play maybe two Iraq Arab songs an hour to appease the locals and send MSGES in Arab to stop the violence and to cooperate with the Coalition forces, yet the station is fully licensed, but not millitary owned like AFN and BFBS... You can listen online by going to http://www.jumptv.com/en/channel/981hotfm/ station is also available on sat tv and short wave.
 
I cant get the stream to work for me,,,, but luckily my buddy sent me an Aircheck.. I should mention that the studios are not in Iraq now,,,, but are SAT fed into Iraq for Safety reasons.
 
The station broadcasts from maybe somewhere outside babghdad to avoid another terrorist attack.,, as Eric said its now in a secret location, but needless to say, their Hot FM is back on 98. something, and Shortwave,, and I think SAT TV as well.... The old 104.1 is used by AFN as a translator now. Im gonna up;oad the aircheck on Imeem,,, they play such silly songs as Barbie Girl,,,, What a Feeling (dance mix) and Eddie Grant-Electric Avenue... But play the new Eminem,,, as well as AC AD Rock and roll train.. the Darkness-One way ticket to hell and back... they play everything from Evenesense, to Rage against the machine. to the new Bob Sinclar with Sugar hill gang,, pink-Dont leave me.... Asher Roth-I love College.. Taylor Swift...ECT... Katy Perry Waking up in vegas..... He did inform me that they dont have a website or stream at this time,,, and indeed,,, I did find the wrong 98.1 Hot FM//// My bad... I was just excited to see this war turn country have a private CHR again. They seem to play Hard ROCK,,, RAP,,, Dance... and retro 80s,,, but with very little current Pure POP music...
