RCV Radio Cabo Verde direct

This is one of the quieter entries in Cape Verde's listing, at 10 of 15. 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 RCV Radio Cabo Verde direct is one, 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.

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.

At 320 kbps, RCV Radio Cabo Verde direct streams at more than double Cape Verde's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from a3.asurahosting.com, an address unique to this entry in Cape Verde'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.
