Cadena Ser Guadix

Cadena Ser Guadix is at 239 in a listing of 487. 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.

Cadena Ser Guadix shares its leading tag, deporte, with one other Spain entry. Across every country the directory has 2 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

At 48 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Spain's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Cadena Ser Guadix streams in AAC+ while most of Spain's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 57 other stations in Spain are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
