Ushuaia Radio English

Ushuaia Radio English sits at 226 of 487 in Spain's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Spain'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.

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.

Its audio comes from s4.radio.co. One other station in Spain streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The broadcaster's own site is ushuaia.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
