Buenos Aires metro has over 200 stations, and they change often.
98.3 is interesting. All rock, all Argentine. Mega 98.3, Puro Rock Nacional. #1, as has been for 6 years. Pics of station on my website (click my ID here). At one time, station had cume of over 4 million, making it biggest cumer in Western Hemisphere.
Hits FM 105.5 is the CHR. There is lots of other stuff, so do a band scan.

Impressive! 6 years straight is a big deal.
So David, why is it that pirate radio is so big in Argentina? Why hasn't the government been able to crack down on it? Why haven't they assigned more available frequencies for legal stations to operate under?

The country is never too far from total anarchy, so that is one reason. Another is that the Provincial and Municipal governments decided they could licence staitons, often on adjacent channels to "real" Federal licences. On top of that, seing the lawlessness, many simply did not apply for any licence.
While I was at Mega, the first 4 1/2 years, we had a mobile unit that went around, basically, threatening any station that cem too close to our frequency. This was very effective, and 98.3 was clear to the far reaches of the Provinc of Buenos Aires.
In Bunenos Aires, there are a "normal" number of full signal (100 kw or more) stations, but lots of neighborhood stations with limited coverage, and they come and go.

Hey David Eduardo,
That is cool that you worked at Mega. I listen to Mega through the internet most of the day when I am not listening to La Red for futbol. My only complaint is that their website hasn't been updated. With all the concerts and stuff going on, am surprised that it isn't more like Rock & Pop. Too bad Fantino isn't at Mega anymore. I liked his show.
I just posted on another thread that I am trying to find a phone that will allow me to listen to La Mega (and La Red) through my cell phone and be able to transmit through my car.
