Radio Rivadavia

Radio Rivadavia ranks 36 among 171 stations in Argentina. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

5 stations in Argentina lead with news and Radio Rivadavia is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 307 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Argentina.

Radio Rivadavia streams at 64 kbps, under Argentina's median of 96 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 31 other stations in Argentina are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Argentina's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
