Atlántida

Atlántida sits in the tail of Brazil's 430 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With one recorded open, Atlántida 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.

The stream is encoded at 1000 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Brazil. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Atlántida publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

Its audio comes straight from 1852747t.ha.azioncdn.net, an address unique to this entry in Brazil's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
