Radio Renascença

In Portugal's listing Radio Renascença lands at 20 of 105, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

Radio Renascença is the only station in Portugal whose first tag is generalist, out of 105 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Portugal does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only generalist station.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Portugal'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 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.

Its audio comes from 22593.live.streamtheworld.com. One other station in Portugal streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Radio Renascença keeps its own site at rr.sapo.pt. The address sits under Portugal's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
