R.vale Verde FM 96,66

R.vale Verde FM 96,66 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.

The country page counts pop among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 4 entries in Brazil behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 343 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

R.vale Verde FM 96,66 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.

The audio comes from ice.fabricahost.com.br, and 13 other stations in Brazil are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Brazil's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
