La Nueva 106.9 FM

This is one of the quieter entries in the Dominican Republic's listing, at 56 of 66. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The country page counts bachata among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 14 entries in the Dominican Republic behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 33 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for the Dominican Republic overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The stream is served from lanueva106.radioca.st, which no other entry in the Dominican Republic uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
