Distorsión FM

Among the 99 stations in Chile with pages, Distorsión FM is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

Distorsión FM broadcasts in English from Chile, one of 14 stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Spanish, so these 14 entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

Distorsión FM shares its leading tag, classic rock, with two other Chile entries. Across every country the directory has 140 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

256 kbps against Chile's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 75% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from tunein.radiomaniacos.cl, which no other entry in Chile 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.
