Description
An urban music station broadcasting from San José, Costa Rica, whose output on its own stream is reggae and hip hop. Its own hosting listing presents it as a San José station broadcasting in Spanish, and points to its own domain urbano106.com as its website. Its own Google Play app is titled "Urbano 106 FM (Radio Urbano)" and is published by Franklin Ortega Leiton from San José, Costa Rica.

|
Artists
Its own stream server reported Quique Neira featuring Ky-Mani Marley, "Live Another Day"; that was the only track exposed while I read it, so this is one observation rather than a rotation.

Contact route
a live chat on its own radio page, where listeners post greetings and song requests under their own names and the station answers on air. Dozens of dated messages were live when it was read, including listeners asking which number to send a request to, and two reporting a broken play button and an expired certificate. There is also an app.

its own live page publishes the day's grid, and on the Sunday it was read it ran Roots Music 06:00 to 09:00, Mellow Vibes 09:00 to 12:00, Roots Music 12:00 to 13:00, Attitude Reggae 13:00 to 15:00, Roots Music 15:00 to 16:00, Back to the Roots 16:00 to 18:00, The Irie Show 18:00 to 19:00, Sinceridad 19:00 to 21:00 and Roots Music 21:00 to midnight.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The station's own slogan and its "Acerca de Urbano 106" text, which a search index holds under urbano106.com/nosotros/ | I could not open that page, and I do not publish text I have not read.
source |
| A frequency of 106 implied by the brand name and by the app title "Urbano 106 FM" | the operator's own listing gives 105.9 FM as the dial position, so 106 is brand styling and not a frequency.
source |
| A listener count of 71 reported by its own stream server | a live counter, not a durable fact.
source |
| Costa Rica inferred from the .com domain or from a directory | taken instead from the operator's own app listing address in San José and its own platform listing.
source |
| the listeners' own names and messages from that chat | they are real people writing to their station, not material for a catalogue entry, and republishing them elsewhere is not something they agreed to.
source |
| presenter credits for the Roots Music hours | the station's own grid leaves the jock column empty on those, and filling it from the surrounding shows would be invention.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
