Sarandi 690

In Uruguay's ordering this is number 14 of 43, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The news corner of Uruguay's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Uruguay's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Uruguay overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The stream is served from radiolatina.live:10977, 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.
