Azul 99.9 FM

Among the 22 stations in Costa Rica with pages, Azul 99.9 FM is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

With two recorded opens, Azul 99.9 FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Costa Rica's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Only three entries in Costa Rica put baladas en español first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Costa Rica'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.

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