Excelent!  Some initial problems w/codecs but they will straighten out.  
I will check Guatemala too.

Here's the url for the main portal... Check it out.

The portal network streams the content in the Real Audio format and has links to a separate web page for each station that describes the local programming and includes a nice set of pictures of the staff working at each station.  Judging from the photos, the studios are very nicely equipped (meaning that the government has put quite a bit of resources behind this effort). Since the stations are from various parts of the country, the programming is delivered in some mixture of Spanish and the indigenous language(s) near each station.  Among the 20 locations are stations in Oaxaca, Quintanna Roo, Guerrero, Puebla, Michoacán, Chiapas, Campeche, Hidalgo, Nayarit, Baja California, Yucatan, Sonora, Veracruz, and Chihuahua.  For the most part the stations broadcast during the daylight hours (6am until 6 or 7!

More importantly, though,I would imagine that it's a welcome addition to daily life in the local villages within the over-the-air broadcast range of the stations.
