LA Q 820 (GDL)

LA Q 820 (GDL) sits at 168 of 444 in Mexico's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The open count against LA Q 820 (GDL) is two, 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.

LA Q 820 (GDL) is the only station in Mexico whose first tag is 820 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 820 am station.

At 80 kbps, this sits below most of Mexico's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The stream address on this entry points at streaming.servicioswebmx.com, which is where 18 other stations in Mexico are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
