MGT Brega E Retrô

This is one of the quieter entries in Brazil's listing, at 320 of 430. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The open count against MGT Brega E Retrô is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

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.

At 64 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.

8 of Brazil's entries are served from cast.mgtradio.net, 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.
