Ovación 620 AM

At position 98 of 119, this is one of the stations in Peru 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.

Ovación 620 AM 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.

Among 119 stations in Peru here, this is the only one that puts sports first. The sports rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

Ovación 620 AM streams at 49 kbps against Peru's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 62% 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.

Ovación 620 AM publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
