Rádio Nacional Amazônia

This is one of the quieter entries in Brazil's listing, at 263 of 430. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 25 entries in Brazil broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is Portuguese.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Rádio Nacional Amazônia streams at 235 kbps, above Brazil's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 55% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
