LOS40 Chile

LOS40 Chile is one of the three most opened stations in Chile in this directory. That is a small enough club that the country hub lists all of them above the fold, and a large enough country that the position means something.

LOS40 Chile has 20 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

América is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Chile uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

At 56 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Chile's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream is AAC+. Chile's dial is split across four formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

The stream is served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, an address six other entries in Chile use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
