0nlineradio 50s

This is the stream named for the fifties, one of three the directory lists in Germany under a single name where each entry takes a decade. The decade is the difference between them and there is no other.

0nlineradio 50s ranks 352 among 1,409 stations in Germany. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

The station's leading tag is 50s, shared with 3 other entries in Germany. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

192 kbps, which puts 0nlineradio 50s above the 128 kbps that a typical entry in Germany runs at.

The audio comes from stream.0nlineradio.com, and 29 other stations in Germany 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 Germany's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
