Alpha FM 101.7 MHz (São Paulo - SP)

Out of 430 entries in Brazil, this one ranks 5. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 55 recorded opens, Alpha FM 101.7 MHz (São Paulo - SP) is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Nothing else in Brazil's listing leads with light. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

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

41 of Brazil's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Their site is alphafm.com.br, a domain registered in Brazil. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
