Radio Tupi FM 96.5

Radio Tupi FM 96.5 sits at 118 of 430 in Brazil's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Radio Tupi FM 96.5 streams at 32 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.

The stream is served from 8923.brasilstream.com.br, an address one other entry in Brazil uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Their address is tupi.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
