LA BESTIA GRUPERA: Dejando Huella

Out of 444 entries in Mexico, this one ranks 70. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

LA BESTIA GRUPERA: Dejando Huella is the only station in Mexico whose first tag is 540 am, out of 444 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Mexico does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only 540 am station.

LA BESTIA GRUPERA: Dejando Huella streams at 24 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.

The stream is AAC+. Mexico's dial is split across three formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

Its audio comes from sg.centrocibernetico.com. Five other stations in Mexico stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
