Massa FM - Blumenau

Rank 318 of 430 in Brazil. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

With one recorded open, Massa FM - Blumenau 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.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Massa FM - Blumenau streams at 48 kbps against Brazil's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 55% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Its audio comes straight from stm04.virtualcast.com.br:8004, 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.
