Rádio MEC AM

Position 151 of 430 puts this station in the middle of Brazil's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Four recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

4 stations in Brazil lead with instrumental and Rádio MEC AM is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 13 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Brazil.

Twice the local median and then some: 307 kbps where Brazil's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

Rádio MEC AM 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.

Its audio comes straight from radiomec-stream.ebc.com.br, an address unique to this entry in Brazil's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
