Rádio Bandeirantes 90.9 FM

Rádio Bandeirantes 90.9 FM is one of three entries in Brazil sharing a name and differing by a number, and this one carries ninety point nine. That number is the only thing in the name that separates it from the rest of the set.

Rádio Bandeirantes 90.9 FM is at position 30 of the 430 stations in Brazil with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

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.

Rádio Bandeirantes 90.9 FM 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.

The stream address on this entry points at playerservices.streamtheworld.com, which is where 40 other stations in Brazil are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
