Willy

Position 5 of 122 in Belgium. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

At 25 recorded opens, Willy is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

The stream is 96 kbps where Belgium's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

The audio comes from streams.radio.dpgmedia.cloud, and 11 other stations in Belgium are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Belgium's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The broadcaster's own site is willy.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
