WKAQ 580

WKAQ 580 heads Puerto Rico's listing here, ahead of 23 other stations from the country. The ordering is the directory's own record of how often each stream is opened, so this is a popularity signal rather than an editorial one, and it is the signal the country hub is built on.

At 21 recorded opens, WKAQ 580 is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

News is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Puerto Rico uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Worldwide it ranks 44 among 307 news entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

The gap here is large: 64 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.

Its audio comes from televicentro.streamguys1.com. Two other stations in Puerto Rico stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
