Amor 90.9

Amor 90.9 sits in the tail of Puerto Rico's 24 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Amor 90.9 in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Amor 90.9 is the only station in Puerto Rico whose first tag is latin pop, out of 24 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Puerto Rico does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only latin pop station.

The gap here is large: 32 kbps where Puerto Rico'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.
