Radiomundo

Out of 43 entries in Uruguay, this one ranks 11. 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.

With four recorded opens, Radiomundo sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Uruguay's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Talk is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Uruguay uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Uruguay'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 Uruguay'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 straight from stream1.enperspectiva.net:8443, an address unique to this entry in Uruguay's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
