Radio Huanta 2000

Radio Huanta 2000 is at 57 in a listing of 119. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Peru carries five Quechua stations in the directory against a Spanish majority. Radio Huanta 2000 is one of them, and the pairing of language and country is the fact that distinguishes it from the rest of the national list.

Quechua is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

Two stations in Peru lead with the tag música, and Radio Huanta 2000 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 gap here is large: 64 kbps where Peru'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.
