BLU Radio Bogotá

In Colombia's listing BLU Radio Bogotá lands at 19 of 158, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

Broadcasting in Spanish, alongside most of Colombia's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining two languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Colombia's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Colombia's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

37 of Colombia's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

The broadcaster's own site is bluradio.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.
