Rádio Nacional Brasília AM

This is one of the quieter entries in Brazil's listing, at 264 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 open count against Rádio Nacional Brasília AM 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 Nacional Brasília AM 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.

Rádio Nacional Brasília 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 radionacionalbrasilia-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.
