LA Kebuena 97.1 (GDL)

At position 370 of 444, this is one of the stations in Mexico that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

No opens have been recorded against LA Kebuena 97.1 (GDL) in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

97.1 fm is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Mexico uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

LA Kebuena 97.1 (GDL) streams at 56 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 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.
