Hostal Azul Radio

Hostal Azul Radio sits at 8 of 18 in Cuba's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

English from Cuba, one of only two such entries the directory holds for the country. The national listing leads with Spanish, which is what makes this worth pointing at.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Jazz is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Cuba uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Hostal Azul Radio streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Cuba's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 60% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes from stream.zeno.fm. Three other stations in Cuba stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
