0nlineradio KARNEVAL

This is one of the quieter entries in Germany's listing, at 1144 of 1,409. 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 open count against 0nlineradio KARNEVAL is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Nothing else in Germany's listing leads with carnival. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

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

The stream address on this entry points at stream.0nlineradio.com, which is where 29 other stations in Germany 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.
