Caracol Radio (Bogotá)

Of the 158 stations in Colombia with a page on this site, Caracol Radio (Bogotá) is the one the directory records the most opens for. That makes it the default entry point to the country, and it is where the country hub starts its own list.

Caracol Radio (Bogotá) has 47 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.

Nothing else in Colombia's listing leads with 100.9 fm. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The gap here is large: 32 kbps where Colombia'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.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 36 other stations in Colombia are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Colombia's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
