Radio Los Compadres 107.5

Radio Los Compadres 107.5 FM is a Mexican community station in Témoris, a small town in the mountains of Chihuahua, with the call sign XHSCBC-FM. The tags of the listing mention banda and campirano music, which suggests a programme of regional Mexican sounds such as brass-driven banda, norteño and rural country-style songs, together with greetings, dedications, local announcements and community news presented in Spanish. The tone is friendly and neighbourly, as is typical of small stations in rural areas.

Témoris lies in the Sierra Tarahumara, a rugged region known for its canyons and for the Rarámuri people, and radio is an important means of communication in places where roads are long and phone coverage can be limited. A local station is a companion at home, in the fields and on the road, and the online stream allows people who have moved away, for instance to the United States, to hear the sound of home. The station is a small-scale service, and the details of its schedule and ownership are not published in the listing. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 128 kbps, which provides a clear sound for speech and music on most devices and keeps data use moderate.
