98.6 charivari

Rank 955 of 1,409 in Germany. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

With two recorded opens, 98.6 charivari sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Germany's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Nothing else in Germany's listing leads with mainstream music. 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.

98.6 charivari reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Germany overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The stream is served from webstream.986charivari.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.
