Elektra Radio

In Brazil's listing Elektra Radio lands at 40 of 430, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

Brazil's directory presence is led by Portuguese, with 25 stations broadcasting in English behind it. Elektra Radio is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

Among 430 stations in Brazil here, this is the only one that puts 'synthpop' first. The 'synthpop' rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

128 kbps matches Brazil's median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

Its audio comes straight from cast3.hoost.com.br:8952, 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.
