Torres FM 101,1

Torres FM 101,1 sits in the tail of Brazil's 430 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Torres FM 101,1 in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

4 stations in Brazil lead with 80's and Torres FM 101,1 is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 62 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Brazil.

Torres FM 101,1 streams at 96 kbps, under Brazil's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream is served from cast4.audiostream.com.br:2661, 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.
