Pop Radio 101.5

Pop Radio 101.5 is one of two entries in Argentina sharing a name and differing by a number, and this one carries one hundred and one point five. That number is the only thing in the name that separates it from the rest of the set.

In Argentina's ordering this is number 46 of 171, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The stream is served from popradio.stweb.tv, an address one other entry in Argentina uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The station's own site is radiopop.fm. The .fm domain has nothing to do with FM radio or with where a station is: it belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia and has been sold to broadcasters worldwide for years, so read it as branding rather than as a location.
