El viejón (Torreón) - 99.5 FM [Torreón, Coahuila]

Broadcasting in Spanish, alongside most of Mexico's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

El viejón (Torreón) - 99.5 FM [Torreón, Coahuila] streams at 64 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.

45 of Mexico's entries are served from stream.zeno.fm, 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.

The broadcaster publishes at gpsmedia.com.mx, on Mexico's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
