Neutral FM

This is one of the quieter entries in Uruguay's listing, at 39 of 43. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

Neutral FM has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Neutral FM is the only station in Uruguay whose first tag is latin, out of 43 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Uruguay does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only latin station.

Twice the local median and then some: 320 kbps where Uruguay's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

Neutral FM streams in AAC+ while most of Uruguay's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.
