BBN Spanish

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 199. 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.

the United States' directory presence is led by English, with 87 stations broadcasting in Spanish behind it. BBN Spanish is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

The Spanish shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's Spanish entries are concentrated in Mexico, Argentina and Spain. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

BBN Spanish is the only station in the United States whose first tag is biblica, out of 1,481 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United States does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only biblica station.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where the United States' 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.
