Rádio Terra 98.5 FM

At position 375 of 430, this is one of the stations in Brazil that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

With one recorded open, Rádio Terra 98.5 FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Brazil's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Rádio Terra 98.5 FM has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Brazil on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The gap here is large: 32 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.

The stream is served from server2.webradios.com.br:19196, which no other entry in Brazil uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
