El Espectador 810

Held against the 43 stations in Uruguay on this site, this one is in the leading three. The order is the directory's count of stream opens rather than anybody's judgement, which is worth saying because a leading position on a list like this reflects habit as much as anything else.

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

Only two entries in Uruguay put news first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

On the same tag worldwide it is 60 of 307, which is inside the top quarter of every news station the directory carries.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Uruguay's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The stream is served from espectador-1.nty.uy, which no other entry in Uruguay 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.
