Rádio Maroca

Rádio Maroca 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 open count against Rádio Maroca is two, 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.

Rádio Maroca shares its leading tag, mpb, with one other Brazil entry. Across every country the directory has 2 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

Rádio Maroca streams at 64 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.

Rádio Maroca streams from server03.srvsh.com.br:6844. No other station in Brazil is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
