Listeners in Mexico are reporting that all 3 of the stations that were on the air for the fledgling Acústik network (XEMN-600, XEUNO-1120, and XEJP-1150) have gone silent one by one over the past few months. All 3 were previously-existing stations, leased by Acústik. It remains to be seen what will become of all the CPs for new stations that had planned to carry the Acústik network, none of which are known to have been built yet. Interestingly, Acústik’s web stream is still active:

On this KiwiSDR in Noale http://iw3hbx.ddns.net:5555/ (close to Venice), Italy I detected an unknown local station on 1278 AM. It plays pop music and identifies in English as “This is Radio … ” (the name is not understandable in the jingle. It’s nowhere listed, even not in AMLIST.org.
