La Mega

Out of 158 entries in Colombia, this one ranks 35. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

La Mega is the only station in Colombia whose first tag is reggaeton, out of 158 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Colombia does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only reggaeton station.

At 98 kbps, this sits below most of Colombia's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 59% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

La Mega publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

Its audio comes from mdstrm.com. Five other stations in Colombia stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
