Rádio Comercial

Rádio Comercial is one of the three most opened stations in Portugal in this directory. That is a small enough club that the country hub lists all of them above the fold, and a large enough country that the position means something.

The directory counts 33 opens against this stream. That is well above Portugal's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Contemporary is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Portugal uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The stream is AAC. Portugal's dial is split across three formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

Its audio comes from stream-hls.bauermedia.pt. Three other stations in Portugal stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
