87 FM

87 FM is deep in Brazil's listing, at 282 of 430. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

With one recorded open, 87 FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Brazil's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Local news covers 9 of Brazil's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

At 36 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Brazil's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Brazil's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The stream is served from exodo.ddns.seg.br:20011, which no other entry in Brazil uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
