Absolut 80ER

Absolut 80ER is deep in Germany's listing, at 1359 of 1,409. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

Absolut 80ER has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Tagged 80's, along with 8 other stations in the country and 62 across the directory.

The stream is served from edge59.live-sm.absolutradio.de, an address two other entries in Germany use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Absolut 80ER keeps its own site at absolutradio.de. The address sits under Germany's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
