Nostalgie Belgique Live

This is one of the quieter entries in Belgium's listing, at 90 of 122. 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 directory carries no bitrate for Nostalgie Belgique Live. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Belgium's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

Nostalgie Belgique Live streams in AAC while most of Belgium's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream address on this entry points at stream.rcs.revma.com, which is where 7 other stations in Belgium are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
