Radio General Belgrano AM 840

Radio General Belgrano AM 840, known by its address as La 840, is an Argentine radio station on the AM dial. The listing gives few details, but the name honours General Manuel Belgrano, one of the founding figures of Argentina, and the station is likely to offer a mixture of news, talk, sport and popular music, with local announcements and the personal style typical of AM radio in Argentina. The presentation is in Spanish with Argentine accents and expressions.

AM stations play a prominent role in Argentine media, particularly in provincial areas, where they are trusted sources of local news, weather and community information, as well as companions for work and travel. The online stream allows people who have moved away to follow their hometown from abroad and gives learners of Spanish a chance to hear the Rioplatense dialect. The station information does not publish a detailed schedule, so the exact programming may vary. This stream is delivered as AAC at only 32 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is less detailed for music.
