Rádio Cidade - Rio de Janeiro - 102.9 FM - ZYD462

Position 88 of 430 in Brazil. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

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

The gap here is large: 48 kbps where Brazil's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

41 of Brazil's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, 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.

The station's own site is radiocidade.fm. The .fm domain has nothing to do with FM radio or with where a station is: it belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia and has been sold to broadcasters worldwide for years, so read it as branding rather than as a location.
