The open count against Radio Chapultepec: Una Radio Mexicana is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything.

The 560 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 gap here is large: 48 kbps where Mexico's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Its audio comes straight from cast6.asurahosting.com, an address unique to this entry in Mexico's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
