Cumbia Total (iHeart Radio)

Position 41 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.

Cumbia Total (iHeart Radio) broadcasts in Spanish, which is the language most of Mexico's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the Spanish stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Acir covers 20 of Mexico's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

At 48 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.

AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

104 of Mexico's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
