Rádio Estádio

The name leaves no doubt, and Rádio Estádio - stadium radio - is exactly what it promises: the sports channel of the Cordeiro França group of web radios in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, Pernambuco. Where its sister dials split by music genre, this one takes the football lane.

Programming follows the sports-radio recipe: live match commentary, results, debates and sports news for a region where state championship talk is a second religion. The group's interactive style carries over - listener calls, greetings and requests for coverage between the matches, all in Portuguese and around the clock.

The stream runs alongside the family's other dials on the toligado hub. Free web radio to listen online, for the football-mad Pernambuco Agreste, for Brazilian sports fans far from home, and for anyone who believes a stadium sounds best on the radio.
