EXA FM 95.5 (Torreón)

EXA FM 95.5 (Torreón) is at 232 in a listing of 444. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against EXA FM 95.5 (Torreón) 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 95.5 fm corner of Mexico's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

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.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 103 other stations in Mexico are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Mexico's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
