89.5 Match (Puerto Vallarta)

89.5 Match (Puerto Vallarta) is deep in Mexico's listing, at 317 of 444. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

No opens have been recorded against 89.5 Match (Puerto Vallarta) in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Two stations in Mexico lead with the tag 89.5 fm, and 89.5 Match (Puerto Vallarta) is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

89.5 Match (Puerto Vallarta) streams at 56 kbps against Mexico's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 49% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 103 other stations in Mexico are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
