ADN

ADN sits at 52 of 99 in Chile's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The open count against ADN is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The gap here is large: 56 kbps where Chile's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Its audio comes straight from 27413.live.streamtheworld.com, an address unique to this entry in Chile's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
