Mix (Medellín) 89.9 FM

In Colombia's listing Mix (Medellín) 89.9 FM lands at 6 of 158, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

Nothing else in Colombia's listing leads with merengue bachata. 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: 64 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.

AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

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.

Mix (Medellín) 89.9 FM keeps its own site at mixradio.co. The address sits under Colombia's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
