LA MÁS PICUDA 104.7 (Parral)

This is one of the quieter entries in Mexico's listing, at 373 of 444. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

LA MÁS PICUDA 104.7 (Parral) has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

The 94.9 fm corner of Mexico's dial is three 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.

LA MÁS PICUDA 104.7 (Parral) 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.

The stream is served from stream-288.surfernetwork.com, an address one other entry in Mexico uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
