Canarias Radio

Out of 487 entries in Spain, this one ranks 101. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Broadcasting in Spanish, alongside most of Spain's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

Canarias Radio streams at 56 kbps against Spain's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 76% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

The stream is served from rtvc-radio.flumotion.com, which no other entry in Spain uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
