Los 40 Asturias

Rank 344 of 487 in Spain. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Los 40 Asturias leads with dance, a tag 20 other stations in Spain use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

At 64 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.

Where Spain's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from 27913.live.streamtheworld.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.
