Radio 5: Mitre AM790

In Argentina's ordering this is number 85 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.

With two recorded opens, Radio 5: Mitre AM790 sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Argentina's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The stream is encoded at 192 kbps, more than twice the 96 kbps median for Argentina. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from radio.eduneu.eu:8040, which no other entry in Argentina uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The station's site is at radio.eduneu.eu, which sits under the .eu country domain rather than Argentina's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
