Learn about a country by listening to the radio station everyone there listens to. Urbana FM is hip, bilingual, playing music hard to get even in the states. They do 30sec informative spots by sampling famous people to music and sound portraits creating an awsome feel.
The DJ of the station takes us through, in English, why it is unique and what they're trying to accomplish.

Review of 92.5 UrbanaFM Radio, Uruguay (4min)
This piece doesn't hold together as well as LaOtra. I couldn't quite figure out what was a PSA or station ID and what was part of the mix. I'd rather hear the DJ talking about the music Radio Urbana plays and why, appetites for int'l or "world" music, listener demographics... Undeniably, the station has un gran sonido.
