Position 52 of 444 in Mexico. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.
Mexico's directory presence is led by Spanish, with 37 stations broadcasting in English behind it. BBC RADIO 1XTRA UK: Amplifying black music & culture. is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.
Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.
Afrobeats is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Mexico uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.
The stream is 101 kbps where Mexico's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.
This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
