96.9 Joya (Xalapa)

96.9 Joya (Xalapa) is deep in Mexico's listing, at 324 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.

96.9 Joya (Xalapa) has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Spanish is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six Mexico's listing records.

Only two entries in Mexico put 96.9 fm 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.

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

Its audio comes from playradio.mx. Five other stations in Mexico stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
