98.2 Radio Paradiso

98.2 Radio Paradiso ranks 206 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.

11 stations in Germany lead with adult contemporary and 98.2 Radio Paradiso is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 126 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Germany.

Across every country, 98.2 Radio Paradiso is 8 of the 126 stations leading with adult contemporary, by the same open count the country list uses.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Germany's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream is served from streams.paradiso.de, which no other entry in Germany uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The broadcaster publishes at paradiso.de, on Germany's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
