Clásica 102.5 Guatemala

Out of 31 entries in Guatemala, this one ranks 5. 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.

The open count against Clásica 102.5 Guatemala is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

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

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Guatemala's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Guatemala's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

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