CLASSIC 96.1 (Tampico)

CLASSIC 96.1 (Tampico) sits at 224 of 444 in Mexico's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The open count against CLASSIC 96.1 (Tampico) is one, 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.

The station's leading tag is 80s, shared with 4 other entries in Mexico. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

At 93 kbps, this sits below most of Mexico's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The stream address on this entry points at mdstrm.com, which is where 23 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.
