The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
At position 81 of 122, this is one of the stations in Belgium that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.
With two recorded opens, VRT NWS HQ sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Belgium's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.
Two stations in Belgium lead with the tag news, and VRT NWS HQ is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.
No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.
The stream is served from icecast.vrtcdn.be, an address one other entry in Belgium uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

VRT NWS HQ is one of 226 playable stations the catalogue lists in Belgium, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by VRT NWS HQ. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at icecast.vrtcdn.be.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
