EXTASIS DIGITAL 96.5 (Chihuahua)

In Mexico's ordering this is number 114 of 444, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against EXTASIS DIGITAL 96.5 (Chihuahua) is three, 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 580 am 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.

The stream is served from stream-284.surfernetwork.com, an address two other entries in Mexico use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The broadcaster publishes at extasisdigital.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.
