Radio Huancayo

In Peru's ordering this is number 31 of 119, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

With four recorded opens, Radio Huancayo sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Peru's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Three stations in Peru lead with the tag peruvian cumbia, and Radio Huancayo is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The stream is AAC+. Peru's dial is split across three formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

The stream is served from cloud9.ldwebstudios.net:7000, an address one other entry in Peru uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The broadcaster publishes at radiohuancayo.com.pe, on Peru's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
