Radio del Plata

This is one of the quieter entries in Argentina's listing, at 158 of 171. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The directory records no opens at all for Radio del Plata. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

At 40 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Argentina's dial, whose median is 96 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream is served from streaming01.shockmedia.com.ar:10217, 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.
